Imagine being able to take algae and turn it into a source of renewable oil. OriginOil, Inc. is developing a breakthrough technology will do just that. Did you know that much of the world’s oil and gas is made up of ancient algae deposits? OriginOil’s technology will produce “new oil” from algae, through a cost-effective, high-speed manufacturing process. This endless supply of new oil can be used for many products such as diesel, gasoline, jet fuel, plastics and solvents without the global warming effects of petroleum. In this episode, Georgiann is joined by Riggs Eckelberry. One of the inventors of the Company’s breakthrough technology, Riggs Eckelberry brings his veteran technology management skills to the alternative energy sector. As President and COO of CyberDefender Corporation from 2005 to 2006, he was instrumental in building the company and its innovative product line, helping to achieve initial funding and a public company filing (CYDE.OB).
