Carbon Capture • Biofuel Production • Sustainable Energy Startup
In 8th grade, co-founded a startup and pitched at Rice University Lilie Lab focused on innovative algae-based carbon capture and biofuel production systems designed for scalable, sustainable energy solutions. I include this because it was my first introduction to the entrepreneurial world, of which I am much more involved in today.
Prototype Greens is a biofuel and carbon capture startup aimed at reducing global CO₂ emissions through algae-based systems. The project combines environmental engineering, chemistry, and business strategy to create a scalable clean energy solution.
Algae is cultivated in controlled environments designed to maximize sunlight exposure and growth efficiency.
The biomass is dehydrated, blended, and chemically processed to extract usable fuel components.
Biomass is converted into biofuel through refinement and filtration processes.
Final fuel is stored and used in generators, vehicles, and other energy systems.
The global energy and carbon capture markets are rapidly expanding, creating strong opportunities for sustainable alternatives.
