The Biorefinery Solution & Strategy

Integrating Production Agriculture with Industrial Processes

The generic term "biorefinery" has greater meaning when you consider the XL Biorefinery Project. As we see the decline of the oil age and shift to renewable fuels, our society must take steps to achieve efficiency, minimize the environmental impact, and optimize production by co-locating what used to be separate processes. Learn More

What makes XL Renewables different from others pursuing algae?

XL Renewables has developed a highly productive, cost-effective, easy-to-implement and agriculturally-based solution to algae production called the XL Super Trough System. The XL Super Trough System is a platform technology developed by experienced agriculturalists, biologists and engineers utilizing time-proven cultivation methods and commonly available off-the-shelf materials and components to create the only algae production and harvesting system that meets mass-market needs. Specifically, Super Trough enables customers to source large production volumes at low cost with low risk.

What is the Opportunity for Algae?

Increasing demand for food, fuel and carbon mitigation has created an environment of competing interests that threatens to limit the progress of these three drivers of sustainability. The need to de-link these currently interconnected markets so that the success of one does not come at the expense of another, invites a solution that simultaneously produces food and renewable fuel while reducing the carbon footprint.

Algae have been identified as a unique product that can become the lynchpin of a long term sustainability model because of its high oil content, nutritional value and CO2 consumption. However, certain challenges have prevented algae from becoming a large scale commercial reality. Challenges have included insufficient production volumes, inconsistent product quality and high upfront capital cost.
