Microalgae : Nature's Untapped Powerhouse

1

Possess an extraordinarily diverse genetic foundation, offering a molecular repertoire that surpasses the combined potential of global agriculture. This vast genetic diversity holds the key to countless novel compounds with potential applications in medicine, nutrition, and industry

2

Exhibit unparalleled growth rates, allowing for exponential biomass production in a fraction of the space required by traditional crops. This efficiency could revolutionize land use, freeing up arable land for reforestation and biodiversity conservation while still meeting humanity's growing resource demands.

Have been consistently recognized by United Nations food conferences as "the best food for the future" and "the healthiest of all food." Their nutrient density, complete protein profile, and rich array of bioactive compounds position microalgae as a potent weapon against global malnutrition and diet-related diseases.

For decades, the transformative potential of microalgae in addressing global challenges of food security, climate change, and sustainable resource production has been hampered by a single, formidable obstacle: the prohibitively high cost of producing clean algal biomass at scale.


After 17 years of rigorous scientific inquiry and relentless innovation, Algae International Bhd (AIB) has achieved a groundbreaking milestone. By developing novel cultivation and processing techniques, AIB has finally made algal biomass economically competitive with traditional agricultural biomass. This breakthrough throws open the doors to a vast, untapped biological treasure trove, poised to catalyse a new era of sustainable development and technological advancement across multiple industries.


The Revolutionary Advantage of AIB in Global Microalgae Production

AIB stands at the forefront of a paradigm shift in biomass production, offering unique advantages that set us apart from all other global microalgae groups:


Insight: Overcoming Historical Limitations

Algal biomass has long been confined to niche markets due to three critical factors:


1

Prohibitive Costs: Until AIB's innovations, algal biomass production costs significantly exceeded those of traditional agricultural biomass.

2

Limited Production Methods: Nearly all algal production relies on raceway ponds, which not only produce contaminated biomass but are limited to cultivating only a dozen species out of hundreds of thousands.

3

Restricted Species Diversity: The inability to cultivate a wide range of algal species has stunted the industry's potential for diverse applications and breakthroughs.


Objective: Revolutionizing Global Agriculture

AIB's mission is to fundamentally transform the world by shifting a substantial portion of agriculture to algal culture. Our latest systems are designed to achieve this through:


1

Cost Competitiveness: Producing algal biomass at prices competitive with traditional agricultural systems.

2

Scalability: Implementing a modular system that's easily replicable, allowing for rapid and efficient scaling of production.

3

Cleanliness and Diversity: Utilizing a closed system capable of cultivating all algal species while maintaining biomass purity.


The Journey to Innovation


1

First Milestone - Patent WO2008105649A1: This major advance, though insufficient for full cost competitiveness, was significant enough to attract attention from global leaders like NASA and the Weizmann Institute of Israel.

2

The Breakthrough - Patent WO2023234767: This innovation achieves the critical "tipping point" - making algal biomass cost-competitive with agricultural biomass for the first time in history.


The Turning Point: A Global Transformation

With microalgae's numerous advantages over traditional plants - including higher productivity, lower resource requirements, and greater nutritional density - this breakthrough opens the door to a transformative global impact. We stand on the cusp of a new era in sustainable food and biomaterial production, poised to address global challenges in nutrition, environmental sustainability, and resource management.


AIB's technology doesn't just improve algal production; it reimagines the entire concept of biomass cultivation. By making diverse, clean, and cost-effective algal biomass a reality, we're not just changing an industry - we're laying the groundwork for a more sustainable and resourceful world.



Join us in this revolution. Together, we can redefine the future of global agriculture and resource utilization.
