Algae-based Products for a Sustainable Future

Cellana, a leading developer of algae-based bioproducts, uses the most productive plants on earth—marine microalgae—to photosynthetically produce its ReNew™ line of Omega-3 EPA and DHA oils, animal feed, and biofuel feedstocks.

Cellana’s patented ALDUO™ system, a series of photobioreactors (PBRs) coupled with open ponds, enables economic and continuous production of diverse strains of microalgae.

Our ALDUO™ system represents the optimal balance between higher-cost PBRs and lower-cost open ponds for consistent production without interruption by contamination.

Since 2009, Cellana has operated its Kona Demonstration Facility, a 6-acre, state-of-the-art production and research facility in Hawaii. To date we have generated over 20 tons of algae to become one the most validated and prolific algae production facilities in the world.

Cellana, a leading developer of algae-based feedstocks for biofuels, animal feed, and Omega-3 nutritional oils, announced today that it has entered into a multi-year off-take agreement with Neste Oil, the world’s leading supplier of renewable diesel, for commercial-scale quantities of Cellana’s ReNew™ Fuel algae oil feedstocks for biofuel applications.

Under the agreement, Neste Oil has committed to purchase crude algal oil produced by commercial-scale algae biorefineries that Cellana is developing worldwide. The agreement is contingent on Cellana’s future production capacity and on compliance with future biofuel legislation in the EU and US, among other factors. The agreement between Cellana and Neste Oil is non-exclusive and allows each company to enter into additional agreements with other parties.
