Micro-algae are the World's most efficient renewable energy source. This bio-fuel can deliver 48,000 Megawatts of electricity per million dollars capital invested; compare to 470 for solar panels or 1,300 for wind turbines. Micro-algae also outperform all other land-based biomass with fourteen times greater fuel yield per acre than sugarcane ethanol, and two hundred times greater than soybean oil.

The local Power Authority imports 31 million barrels of oil annually, a $1.7 Billion market opportunity. We will provide a renewable, carbon-negative fuel to either substitute or blend with fuel oil or diesel at well below current petroleum prices.
 
Here are some highlights of our simple, yet innovative model:
  • Micro-algae oil production is a carbon sink, consuming more CO2 than is released by burning.
  • In a symbiotic advantage, parallel to the micro-algae ponds are other ponds of fish and shrimp. Nutrients are recycled. Our system actually produces renewable energy PLUS Certified Organic seafood!
  • This energy model can be "packaged" and replicated throughout the world.


Replenish Energy is a reality today, with the help of government
and private funding, it will lead the way as one of the
Twenty-first Century's
sustainable and replenished energy sources.

Five Technologies That Could Change Everything

"...the most promising next-generation biofuel comes from algae. Algae grow fast, consume carbon dioxide and can generate more than 5,000 gallons a year per acre of biofuel, compared with 350 gallons a year for corn-based ethanol. Algae-based fuel can be added directly into existing refining and distribution systems; in theory, the U.S. could produce enough of it to meet all of the nation's transportation needs."  Read more...

"Put quite simply, micro-algae are remarkable biological factories capable of taking a waste form of carbon (CO2) and converting it into a high-density liquid form of energy (natural oil)."
