Our Purpose - Why?
Our Purpose - Why?
We wanted to go through with our mission because we wanted to contribute our ideas to society. Our mission was to use heterotrophic fermentation across three different algae types (red, green, and brown) using three different sugars (glucose, fructose, sucrose). Companies such as Exxon Mobile have already implemented such a concept, but our team, Cibusflore wanted to take pre-existing ideas further, and for a lower price. Below, we attached a few videos that we watched in order to gain inspiration and knowledge that we could apply to this project.
Below are some YouTube videos by the company ExxonMobil, showcasing their process of creating low-emission biofuel using algal blooms. We watched these videos prior to our experimentation, to see their process, and how exactly we could replicate such a product, while also expanding on that concept using ordinary materials.

Additionally, we watched the videos linked below to gain more knowledge on our topic. Both of these videos discuss the future of algae, and how such ideas would be executed. We really recommend watching these videos, as they may enhance your understanding of algae, and possibly our project!
