Headquartered in Johnson City, Tenn., Renewable Algal Energy (RAE) is an algal biotechnology firm focused on working with nature to provide sustainable processes that produce high-quality products to benefit the world.

Our award-winning team of engineers and scientists has created novel breakthrough technology to produce sustainable, economically viable products from microalgae. To convert algae into valuable products, RAE’s intellectual property portfolio includes patent applications, trade secrets and technical know-how that provide broad and dominant protection for every step of this process.

Our patent-pending technology addresses the key challenges related to algal aquaculture, harvesting and conversion processes. The results are renewable fuels, nutraceuticals, and human and animal nutrition. 

To protect the environment, RAE has focused on native algal species that are not genetically modified. Ocean water is the preferred source of water for algal growth, but various sources of water can be used. To preserve RAE’s pristine algal aquaculture, our processes do not include the use of pesticides, herbicides and other harmful chemicals. CO2 is removed directly from the atmosphere by the algae, so that RAE’s products are literally made from recycled carbon dioxide!

Although RAE has developed technology for open pond systems, the company’s proprietary harvesting and extraction technology is equally applicable to other aquaculture systems.

RAE has developed breakthrough algae harvesting and lipid recovery technology that has undergone more than two decades of process improvement and has been operating in the current design mode for five years. The technology is scalable, and RAE team members are experienced in the design and operation of equipment that will be used for the largest scales of biofuel production.
