Bodega Algae, Bigelow Laboratory receive $150K SBIR grant for growing high-concentration algae

In Massachusetts, Bodega Algae and Bigelow Laboratory for Ocean Sciences in West Boothbay Harbor, Maine, received a six-month, $150,000 Small Business Innovation Research (SBIR) grant from the National Science Foundation to develop and test a prototype for growing high concentrations of algae for use as biofuel.

The grant is titled Light Delivery Enhancement of Photobioreactors and will be used to develop advanced photobioreactors that can be used in the nation’s quest for a carbon-neutral fuel source and energy independence.

Bodega was recently identified by Earth2Tech as one of the top 15 biofuel companies in the country to watch.
