A component of the Algae Prize may focus on the production of fuelThe_Algae_Prize_files/AlgaeSummary.pdfThe_Algae_Prize_files/AlgaeSummary.pdfThe_Algae_Prize_files/AlgaeSummary.pdfThe_Algae_Prize_files/AlgaeSummary.pdfThe_Algae_Prize_files/AlgaeSummary_1.pdfshapeimage_2_link_0shapeimage_2_link_1shapeimage_2_link_2shapeimage_2_link_3

The rationale for the Algae Prize is clear - the world needs a carbon breakthrough, and a prize competition that catalyzes real-world algae production is the way to do it!

The Algae Prize will Help Focus and Bridge Gaps Between Multiple Disciplines

Prize Capital is following a rigorous, methodical process to develop the Algae Fuel Prize, including hosting a prize workshop that brought together over 20 national algae expertsThe_Algae_Prize_files/Algae%20Fuel%20Prize%20-%20Workshop%20Summary_1.pdfThe_Algae_Prize_files/Algae%20Fuel%20Prize%20-%20Workshop%20Summary_1.pdfThe_Algae_Prize_files/Algae%20Fuel%20Prize%20-%20Workshop%20Summary_1.pdfThe_Algae_Prize_files/Algae%20Fuel%20Prize%20-%20Workshop%20Summary_1.pdfThe_Algae_Prize_files/Algae%20Fuel%20Prize%20-%20Workshop%20Summary_1.pdfThe_Algae_Prize_files/Algae%20Fuel%20Prize%20-%20Workshop%20Summary_1.pdfThe_Algae_Prize_files/Algae%20Fuel%20Prize%20-%20Workshop%20Summary_1.pdfThe_Algae_Prize_files/Algae%20Fuel%20Prize%20-%20Workshop%20Summary_1.pdfThe_Algae_Prize_files/Algae%20Fuel%20Prize%20-%20Workshop%20Summary_1.pdfThe_Algae_Prize_files/Algae%20Fuel%20Prize%20-%20Workshop%20Summary_1.pdfThe_Algae_Prize_files/Algae%20Fuel%20Prize%20-%20Workshop%20Summary_2.pdfshapeimage_3_link_0shapeimage_3_link_1shapeimage_3_link_2shapeimage_3_link_3shapeimage_3_link_4shapeimage_3_link_5shapeimage_3_link_6shapeimage_3_link_7shapeimage_3_link_8shapeimage_3_link_9

Receive updates on the Algae Prize’s Path to Launch

Prize Capital is generating interest and excitement as it works towards the launch of the Algae Prize. This clip captures feedback just after Prize Capital’s presentation to the Algae Biomass Summit, an event attended by approximately 800 people in October, 2009.

In Partnership with

The ALGAE PRIZE will spur the creation of algal-based technology that can:


  1. •Cost-effectively mitigate carbon emissions from coal-fired power plants;


  1. •Produce biomass that is adaptable to various markets, including transportation fuel, animal feed, and bio-materials, among others;


  1. •Be profitably deployed to other coal-fired power plants around the world.

To accomplish its objectives, the Algae prize may follow a 5-step processThe_Algae_Prize_files/The%20Algae%20Prize.pdfThe_Algae_Prize_files/The%20Algae%20Prize.pdfThe_Algae_Prize_files/The%20Algae%20Prize.pdfThe_Algae_Prize_files/The%20Algae%20Prize.pdfThe_Algae_Prize_files/AlgaeSummary_3.pdfshapeimage_5_link_0shapeimage_5_link_1shapeimage_5_link_2shapeimage_5_link_3

Transportation fuel is one of the many products that can be created by algae. The Algae Prize can highlight this end product, as well as the dream of a scaled renewable fuel production infrastructure, while helping crack barriers to its realization.
