We reached out and contacted Far East Bio-Tec. Co., Ltd for some more insights for our project. The Far East Bio-Tec company is the largest microalgae supplier in Asia. Having a 140,000 m2 manufacturing site with over 60 microalgae ponds, we believe that FEBICO would give us more suggestions on our algae cultivation process in our labs. We were honored that the President of FEBICO himself, C. C. Chiuh, spoke with us for around 2 hours. We presented the concepts of synthetic biology, explained about the components that constituted the iGEM competition and an outline of our project to Mr. C. C.Chiueh.
Mr. C. C Chieuh believes that much more research effort should be put into microalgae and was glad that we get the opportunity to raise awareness of the advantages of microalgae in Boston. During our meeting, he points out the advantages of microalgae. He stresses how microalgae can benefit humankind either through eating it to purify our bodies or used to produce biofuel. In terms of our project, he reminded us of the low cost of oil and suggested alternative uses of algae like its ability to remove pollutant in wastewater. We took his recommendation into consideration and we believe that this meeting was extremely meaningful as it put our project in terms of a business company’s perspective. Furthermore, Mr. C. C. Chieuh told us that Chlorella vulgaris cultivates more oil compared to that of other microalgae.
