SUSTAINABLE BIOPRODUCTS 

Clean Energy Technologies Island (CETI) is focused on providing products that enhance energy security, economic development, and mitigation of climate change. Primary markets: Aviation and U.S. Navy

There is a pressing need to accelerate energy crop development for the production of renewable transportation fuels from biomass. Cost effective production of large amounts of biomass needed to displace petroleum will require significant productivity and efficiency improvements in the growing and harvesting of biofuel crops. While tremendous technical progress and commercialization activities have taken place over the past several years, only relatively small amounts of high-priced drop-in biofuels functionally equivalent to petroleum derived transportation fuels are commercially available today. CETI would accelerate the development of microalgae derived products, enhance land use efficiency, reduce competition between bioenergy and food crops, improve the environment, and provide a steady supply of biofuel at a significantly lower price.
