Euglena Co., Ltd. is a Japan-based biotechnology company that develops and commercializes products derived from microalgae, especially the species Euglena. The company integrates algae cultivation, processing, and downstream formulation to supply ingredients and finished products across nutrition, personal care, feed, and bio-based fuels.
Its platform centers on large-scale cultivation (including outdoor facilities in Ishigaki, Okinawa) and processing of algal biomass to extract lipids and functional polysaccharides such as paramylon (a beta‑1,3‑glucan). Euglena applies these materials in dietary supplements and cosmetic ingredients, and conducts R&D and pilot production of renewable fuels, including sustainable aviation fuel (SAF) and renewable diesel, using algae oils and other biogenic feedstocks. The company operates demonstration-scale biofuel facilities and works with industry partners to advance low-carbon fuel supply chains in Japan.
Headquartered in Tokyo and founded in 2005, Euglena combines life science research with scale-up engineering, quality control, and environmental assessment to bring microalgae-based solutions to market. Its activities link the food, cosmetics, and emerging bioenergy sectors, with a focus on replacing or supplementing fossil-based inputs with renewable, bio-derived alternatives.
