Researchers at Iowa State University have developed a genetic technique they say can increase biomass in algae by 50–80%. The key to this [increase in biomass] is combination of two genes that increases the photosynthetic carbon conversion into organic matter by 50 percent over the wild type under carbon dioxide enrichment conditions.

The plant will be constructed by Fiberight, LLC, based in Blairstown, Iowa. During 2009, Fiberight achieved high yield conversion factors at its Lawrenceville, VA pilot plant due to the evolution of the enzyme catalysts used in strategic partnership with technical partner, Novozymes. Other funding comes from the State of Iowa.
