Our Story
ABOUT NEXT GENERATION OIL
Who We Are
Next Generation Oil Sdn Bhd is a Malaysian based company that has developed a commercially viable process for the cultivation of micro algae, on an industrial scale, and the extraction of crude algae oil.
This process has been developed over the past 20 years by Peter Kim, a South Korean chemical engineer. Peter Kim focused on engineering and process innovations and improvements rather than genetic engineering, and as a result developed his Algae-Modular Automated Plantation (“A-MAP”)TM technology, (a combination of patented cultivation and harvesting technologies).
What We Do
Next Generation Oil is setting up the world’s largest Algae-Modular Automated Plantation and crude algae oil extraction facility in Malaysia, using best in class methods to produce a 50% cut of crude algae oil (CAO) and a 50% residual biomass of dry algae cake (DAC).
Why We Do It
The International Sustainability & Carbon Certification (ISCC)
is an international certification system covering all kinds of bio-based
feedstocks and renewables.
- Contribute to a reduction in greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions
- Promote sustainable use of land
- Promote traceability
- Protect natural biospheres
- Ensure social sustainability
