Viridos
Company Description
Viridos is an algae biofuel company dedicated to creating sustainable, low- carbon, algae-based jet and diesel fuel. Globally, diesel and jet fuel account for over a third of the liquid fossil fuel used. The heavy transportation sector comprising aviation, shipping, and long-distance trucking relies on these fuels with demand expected to continue to grow for decades, creating major decarbonization challenges. Viridos aims to solve this challenge by leading the bioengineering of microalgae and has already achieved seven times the oil productivity compared to wild algae.
Viridos built a scalable platform for low-carbon intensity biofuels, which can reduce greenhouse gas emissions from aviation, commercial trucking, and maritime shipping by nearly 70%. The company works with microalgae to decarbonize entire industries and create products that are in harmony with nature and will provide the solutions needed for a greener and more prosperous future.
