Jamaica Plain’s Bodega Algae LLC and West Boothbay Harbor, Maine-based Bigelow Laboratory for Ocean Sciences have been awarded a six-month Small Business Innovation Research (SBIR) grant worth $150,000 from the National Science Foundation. The award will support the two firms’ development of advanced photobioreactors in growing algae for use as a biofuel.

The SBIR grant, called “Light Delivery Enhancement of Photobioreactors,” will initially target issues of mass cultivation of algae to make into biofuel.

Bodega Algae focuses on the development of the photobioreactors used for high-volume algae production. Its co-founder and chief technology officer Amanda Parkes was named a Mass High Tech Woman to Watch in 2008.

The Bigelow Laboratory is an independent, non-profit research institution, funded by federal research grants and private funds.
