ENOIL BIOENERGIES COMPANY PROFILE 2021 ENOIL BIOENERGIES IS CREATING PROFITABLE AND SUSTAINABLE BIOENERGY AND BIOTECHNOLOGY PROJECTS AND IS AN INCUBATOR FOR QUALITY R&D, DEVELOPING PROFITABLE INVESTMENTS.
SUSTAINABLE, BANKABLE & PROFITABLE
Enoil Bioenergies In a sustainable society, it is very important to raise public awareness. Individuals FROM THE C.E.O. cannot make sustainable choices unless they know what those choices are, and countries will not take direct action to promote sustainable practices unless they receive substantial pressure from citizens.
MAURIZIO CAROLDI C.E.O. AND FOUNDER
A few generations ago it seemed like the world’s resources were infinite, and people needed only to access them to create businesses to grow humanity. We now know that rather than finding ways to exploit new resources, people and companies need to focus on finding sustainable resources for growth, while protecting the planet and the resources we have left.
Enoil Bioenergies is at the forefront.

Enoil Bioenergies 15 MEGATRENDS
BIOFUELS The main challenge today is the competition between first and second-generation biofuel with food production.
Enoil Bioenergies Research Laboratories works on finding alternative sustainable feedstocks. They focus on a through, systems-level understanding of bacteria and yeast metabolism, gene regulation, and stress response for elucidating principles to help rationally engineer bacteria and yeasts for improved biofuel production. BIOCOSMETICS Enoil Bioenergies has partnered with a french biocosmetics company based in Paris, in order to develop and produce the highest quality microalgae derived cosmetics & beauty products for the sustainably minded consumer. Addressing a $488BN global market by 2025, Enoil Bioenergies is following megatrends, with microalgae based products that posses anti-infection, anti-aging, anti-skin deseases, and tested for skin & hair regenerative properties. BIOPLASTIC Enoil Bioenergies is using several methods in order to produce bioplastics from proprietary algae biomass production methods. It is expected that the global bio-plastics market will reach 10m tones by 2020 a massive departure from 2m tons in 2015.
