Solviva Inc.
Solviva is making jet fuel from algae cheap enough to beat oil—plus patented biochar that locks 200%+ more carbon into soil, and the carbon credits to match.
Our Verticals
ABFB (Altered Basalt-Fortified Biochar)
A patented carbon-removal soil amendment that pulls roughly 0.5 tonnes of CO₂ per tonne applied,
Increasing soil carbon content ~200%
Improving nutrient retention by ~30%
Algae-based Sustainable Aviation Fuels
Algae-based sustainable aviation fuel produced at ~$4.12 per gallon at scale
Novel enzyme-based extraction for lipid extraction
What Sets Us Apart
Solviva is built on the backs of a standout team of world-class scientists and proven operators, secured patented technology for a novel discovery at the core of what we make, and unlocked exclusive access to dealflow across the Middle East. Together, these position us to scale sustainable fuel and carbon-negative bioproducts faster than anyone in the space.
