Chemicals from Microalgae

Solazyme’s core technology transforms carbohydrate feedstocks into renewable triglyceride oils that can be processed into chemicals utilizing existing oleochemical, petrochemical and specialty chemical infrastructures.

We are pioneering the development of proprietary technologies that have enabled us to modify the carbon sources consumed by the microalgae, alter the chain length of the triglycerides chains with unprecedented specificity, and modify the degree of unsaturations present in the oils.

Solazyme’s cutting edge renewable oil technology provides natural and petrochemical based oil users a cost effective, value added, sustainable solution for a diverse range of applications.

Solazyme is interested in developing collaborative technology and commercialization relationships, and working with partners to develop and commercialize new or improved processes and products in our target market segments.
