History

Historical Context

The establishment of the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) in 1970 marked a significant step in addressing pollution. This initiative spurred research into algae as a sustainable resource, with the U.S. Department of Energy investing $25 million in the Aquatic Species Program from 1978 to 1996. Today, companies like Mara Renewables and Provectus Algae are raising millions to develop algae-based solutions for environmental challenges.
