Aviation fuel, reimagined. High-productivity algal oil for the future of flight.
We unlock a scalable, low-carbon oil source engineered to eliminate the aviation industry's critical feedstock bottleneck.
The Opportunity
Aviation needs a reliable, scalable source of oil.
Aviation requires energy-dense liquid fuels, yet traditional SAF feedstocks are severely limited in scale.
Phykion bypasses these supply constraints entirely. By cultivating hyper-efficient microalgae, we deliver a reliable, high-volume oil stream that can meet global aviation demand.
The Technology
We have redefined what algae can do.
Three breakthroughs power Phykion’s platform:
a robust production host, proprietary trait stacking that makes it hyper-productive, and an outdoor cultivation process that turns those gains into oil at scale.
01
Field-Proven Host:
We started with one of the best algae strains nature has to offer. Selected from more than 2,000 for resilience and oil production, our host is proven by 5 years of outdoor cultivation.
02
Proprietary Algal Oil Productivity Engine – Phykion’s unique breakthrough
Our platform identifies performance-raising genetic traits and stacks them in our host strain. This has resulted in a groundbreaking 10x gain in oil productivity since the program’s inception. We believe the potential lies far beyond that —new traits are building on that baseline toward a further doubling to reach cost parity with jet fuel.
03
Cultivation at Scale:
A cultivation process built around our strains—together, they have the potential to scale like no other. Open ponds on non-arable land, fed by seawater and CO2, deliver liquid fuel at market scale with minimal resources.
From algae to sustainable aviation fuel.
Built for the fuel systems we have today.
Phykion Oil integrates seamlessly with HEFA—the most commercially established refining pathway for sustainable aviation fuel.
By dropping directly into existing infrastructure, we massively expand the global feedstock supply without requiring a single new pipeline, refinery, or aircraft modification.
