Using our proprietary technology Precision Photosynthesis® we program algae to create category defining, innovative, sustainable solutions across multiple industries.

Our lead product, Surf'N'Turf®, is a performance feed supplement  developed for ruminant livestock to drastically improve the digestibility of animal feed & reduce enteric methane emissions by up to 98%. Trialed in Australia's leading feedlots, Surf'N'Turf® is the leading solution for reducing livestock methane emissions globally.

Our Solution

Livestock are a cornerstone of global food security with an estimated 4.8 billion people reliant on livestock as their primary source of protein. Approximately 85-90% of all livestock on the planet are ruminant animals (Cattle, Buffalo, Sheep & Goats) that, unfortunately, through their digestive process produce high volumes of methane gas that contribute approximately 5-8% of global Greenhouse Gas (GHG) emissions.

We aim to solve this global problem by providing a safe, simple to use & highly effective Asparagopsis seaweed-based performance feed supplement to the global livestock industry.

Surf’N’Turf® is proven to improve feed digestibility & dramatically reduce methane production during enteric fermentation by up to 98%. Delivered as a powdered whole seaweed, Surf’N’Turf® is shelf stable & can be added seamlessly into all existing feed formats without the need for bespoke on-farm equipment or complex processes. Making it easy for farmers in any farming situation.

For decades the potential of algae has remained illusive. Using photosynthesis algae harness light from the sun to produce energy. Unlike plants, algae have evolved in harsh & dynamic aquatic environments where light is ever changing, making capturing light for photosynthesis far more complex. Understanding how light works in aquatic environments & how algae have evolved to harness it is the challenge to unlocking the true potential of algae. Using Precision Photosynthesis®, Automation & Artificial Intelligence is enabling a new era of algae production at industrial scale.

Algae naturally produce sugars from light to fuel their cellular function. The process, photosynthesis, directly influences gene function & gene expression & has proven to be highly specialised & uniquely different for every species of algae.

Using proprietary lighting & advanced omics technologies in combination with Artificial Intelligence we are able to quickly understand the genetic make-up of algae to precisely control gene expression, growth & target chemical synthesis in a technology we call Precision Photosynthesis®. Enabling a new world of product discovery & large scale algae cultivation.

Algae Warehouse Schematic

Enabled by a collection of microalgae, seaweeds & cyanobacteria, our AI platform MagellanTM & 300+ proprietary bioreactors, our state of the art algae foundry is the engine room for new product development.
‍
Tasked with the development of a new product our foundry uses a proprietary omics database & AI search engine, MagellanTM to discover algae strains for new target products. Expert technicians then rapidly scale & precisely optimise selected strains using Precision Photosynthesis® ready for large scale production.  

Algae Warehouse Schematic

Modular, automated & fully recirculating, our proprietary production system is designed for scaleable, controlled & continuous production of microalgae, seaweed or cyanobacteria in any location.

Developed to enable a new era of algae production our facilities scale from hundreds of litres to millions of litres using Precision Photosynthesis®, air & saltwater manufactured on-site (no need for the ocean). Once deployed, production is made simple with integrated process automation to ensure a consistent, high quality product all year round.

Algae Warehouse Schematic

Building on decades downstream processing & formulation expertise our expert team has developed proprietary processes & formulations that transform raw algae biomass into stable finished products in multiple categories.

Our in-house capabilities enable the rapid development of fit-for-purpose products to meet exacting application requirements ensuring tight quality controls for the consistent delivery of category leading products.

Warehouse

Designed with true scaleability in mind our platform redefines what's possible with algae. Transforming algae from a seemingly impossible to scale group of organisms into a scalable primary production platform for industrial production.

Incorporating the most advanced hardware, software & biologics technologies together has resulted in a repeatable, easy to construct platform that can operate continuously in any environmental conditions for any algae species or target product. Creating flexible & scaleable manufacturing deployed close to the customer.  

The problem

Redefining Biomanufacturing

At Provectus Algae, we are transforming natural processes into scalable, carbon-negative solutions. Through our proprietary Precision Photosynthesis® & Artificial Intelligence (AI) enabled biomanufacturing, we’ve developed a robust platform that takes concepts from experimental stages to full commercialisation. Our mission is to enable sustainable manufacturing at scale, offering an eco-friendly and cost-effective solution for industries worldwide.
