Solarvest BioEnergy Partners With Dalhousie University for Algae Research

Solarvest BioEnergy Inc. has established a co-operative R&D agreement with the Dalhousie University’s Suzanne Budge for assisting to characterize fatty acids and lipids in algae. The company’s expertise in nutritional oils in the short term and hydrogen production in the long term facilitates fermentation, genetic improvement as well as engineering technologies.

Solarvest BioEnergy is committed towards the development of renewable and sustainable energy sources for meeting the growing energy demands as well as environmental challenges. The company’s intellectual property is a hydrogen producing technology that is biologically-based.

This technology provides a process for controlling essential genes in algae thus resulting in hydrogen gas production continuously. Solarvest BioEnergy’s system for bio-energy production utilizes light as well as CO₂ for producing hydrogen, thus leaving a clean environmental footprint.
