About
Dr John Archer, Dr Noor Azlin Mokhtar and Suhaiza Jamhor founded HutanBio in 2019. After screening more than a trillion algae samples, the team found a strain, HBx, that produces an oil comparable to diesel, for shipping, aviation and heavy transport.
HutanBio raised £3.5m in seed funding from investors including the Clean Growth Fund and says HBx yields 20 times more than palm oil.
Number 39 on the Startups 100 Index 2025.
