   Startup Euglena has global goals for its microalgae   
      
   Euglena Co., established in 2005, is the world's first company to   
   succeed in growing large amounts of the microalgae euglena for human   
   consumption in an outdoor facility, a feat once believed to be   
   effectively impossible. The company operates businesses that use   
   euglena to make products from health foods to biofuels.   
   ...   
   ...   
   During summer vacation in his freshman year in college, Izumo visited   
   Bangladesh and was shocked to witness the plight of children suffering   
   from malnutrition. He wished to "find something nutritious that can   
   make the children healthy" and began studying nutrition. This led him   
   to learn about euglena. He continued his studies, taking advantage of   
   the "treasure mountain of knowledge" accumulated at the university,   
   and eventually established the technology to grow large amounts of   
   euglena outdoors. Until then, the microalgae could only be grown in   
   indoor labs.   
      
   Since its foundation, Izumo said, the Euglena company has given top   
   priority to developing the technology to produce the "five F's" of   
   biomass -- food, fiber, feed, fertilizer and fuel -- using its   
   namesake microalgae and then promoting their use in society. The   
   company has marketed foods and cosmetics derived from euglena and is   
   working to develop animal feed, fertilizers and bioplastics. The   
   company expects its next-generation biodiesel fuel, Susteo, will   
   contribute to achieving Japan's goal of becoming carbon-neutral by   
   2050.
