Algae - The Future of Feedstock
Providing Fuel and Protein for a Growing Population
For the deserts of Arizona and similar regions around the world, it is the belief of XL that Algae holds the greatest promise as a Biorefinery feedstock. As a replacement for corn and other grains, algae biomass has some real advantages. Microscopic algae use a photosynthesis process similar to that of higher-developed plants, however algae is much more efficient and grows faster. In addition to rampant growth, they also have the ability to consume greenhouse gasses and remediate wastewater creating the opportunity for large-scale and versatile adaptation to existing infrastructure like a dairy or other confined animal feeding operation (CAFO).

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.
