“We are delighted to have Potential Energy DC Angel network join the TrueAlgae family”, said Nathaniel Jackson, CEO of TrueAlgae. “The PEDC Angels’ support will facilitate our growth as we promote the use of the diverse algae universe for a variety of applications.”
Algae is emerging as one of the most promising sources of many nutrients that can be valuable for humans, animals and the planet. Algae is rich in protein, fats and many micronutrients that impart numerous opportunities for use throughout society. Its benefits to the environment are numerous and include expression of oxygen while absorbing CO2 and scrubbing of nitrogen and phosphorus from water sources, all while being regenerative, sustainable and natural.
TrueAlgaeTM’s patent-pending production technology brings a closed-loop, contaminant free capability to quickly produce large quantities of valuable high-quality algae. Currently the algae is used as an organic soil amendment for large fruit and vegetable farms.
