Solazyme | Investor FAQs

What does the Company do?

By leveraging the productive capabilities of microalgae, Solazyme creates oils that mirror or enhance the chemical composition of conventional oils used today. Unlike other approaches that use direct photosynthesis to grow algae, Solazyme uses standard industrial fermentation equipment that harnesses the prolific oil-producing ability of microalgae, allowing the company to produce oils in a matter of days. Solazyme's technology platform is feedstock flexible and can utilize a wide variety of plant-based sugars. The oils the company produces provide compelling solutions to increasingly complex issues of fuel scarcity, energy security and environmental impact all while fitting into pre-existing infrastructure.
