熱帯バイオマス技術研究所​Tropical Biomass Technology Research Institute

Research content

マレーシアは、一年中温暖な気候と豊かな生物多様性を有する国です。
熱帯バイオマス技術研究所では、光合成に適したマレーシアという熱帯環境で、藻類及び光合成生物の、主に燃料用途におけるバイオマス生産・利用について研究を行っています。
具体的には光合成によるバイオマス生産の最大化・最適化を目指し、マレーシア特有の微細藻類及び生物資源の活用、そして日本国内で研究開発を進めてきた炭素・窒素・リン資源の循環技術を掛け合わせ、熱帯というバイオマス生産に適した環境で発展させていきます。
また、現地の大学・企業とも連携を行い、ユーグレナ社初の海外研究所としてR&Dの海外戦略を立案・遂行しています。ペトロナスグループとの共同研究では、微細藻類の培養原料開発や油脂抽出技術等、バイオ燃料原料の大規模生産技術の確立を目指した研究を進めています。

Message from the director

Euglena has been promoting research and development as Japan's No. 1 algae energy company, centered on a unique microalgae called "Euglena".
However, aiming for a sustainable world cannot be achieved with only Japan's domestic resources and technology.
Malaysia is called a mega-diversity country, and is a country with high biodiversity in the world compared to its land, and there are abundant species and resources that are not found in Japan.
By setting up a research institute in the land of Malaysia and combining Malaysia's unique "tropical" climate and abundant "biomass" with the knowledge and technology that we have accumulated so far, we will conduct biomass production and utilization research using a wide variety of algae and photosynthetic organisms. We believe that we will be able to accelerate and challenge the world.
As the first overseas research base since our founding, we will make people and the earth healthy across borders.
