A leading consulting firm asked Ergo to conduct a comprehensive study of the emerging algae biofuel industry. Our client was interested in several aspects of algae biofuel, including the science behind it, the economics and dynamics of regional markets, and the international players in the space.

Ergo provided our client with a layered understanding of algae's prospects as an alternative energy source. We addressed each of our client's questions with in-depth analysis from leading biofuel experts from the world's centers of algae biodiesel innovation, including the UK, Germany, Australia, New Zealand, and the United States. We also created a graphical representation of algae's lifecycle, from "flask to fuel", and supplemented our primary findings with extensive information from scientific and technical papers describing the most current research in the field.

Our client gained a strategic and technical understanding of the algae biofuel market. Our findings revealed the opportunities, risks, and costs of investing and operating in the developing industry by examining the various companies involved, the technologies being used, and potential market growth in future years.
