Commercial algae production is exploding, providing investors with some of the most incredible opportunities to get in on the ground floor of this transformative industry.
Why is the investment community so enthusiastic about a humble organism best known for frustrating fish tank owners? The oil derived from algae is rich in lipids and nutrients, making it an ideal source of vegan Omega 3 neutraceuticals that consumers are demanding. In addition—and what excites investors and innovators the most—is the oil’s superior renewability and sustainability as a biofuel feed stock. The most widely used biofuel feed stock is corn, which is slow-growing and damaging to the environment. In comparison, algae actually helps the environment; it is quickly grown in tanks on unusable land, consumes unwanted CO2 and only produces oxygen as a byproduct.
Algae’s many benefits and uses are still being discovered, and, at this point in its development, the algae industry has devised a wide variety of different production methods with varying levels of scalability and funding needs. As an algae project developer, CBO Financial applies inventive funding strategies and customized planning and project management so that algal projects can reach full-scale commercialization. In particular, we utilize our extensive knowledge of the New Market Tax Credit program to combine the local economic benefits of NMTC projects with the global environmental benefits of renewable energy.

When developing a successful algae project, the CBO team establishes a consortium of interested parties—from CO2 suppliers, to plant development and job training, straight through to helping locate off-takers who will refine the algae oil into useable commercial products. We then integrate all of these components into a financeable project, and are active in building the production plant from the ground up, offering a turn-key solution for recycling unwanted CO2 into the creation of a usable consumer product that will create green-collar jobs in the community.
