Technology: Algae-Derived
Solazyme, Inc. is a renewable oil production company and the leader in algal synthetic biology. Founded in 2003 and head quartered in South San Francisco, the company harnesses the power of microalgae to renewably produce clean and scalable high performance biofuels, industrial chemicals and health and wellness products. Solazyme's unique microbial conversion technology process allows algae to produce oil in standard conversion technology facilities quickly, efficiently and at large scale. These oils are tailored not only for biofuel production, but also as replacements for fossil petroleum and plant oils in a diverse range of products running from green household cleaning supplies to cosmetics and foods.
