What started as a life-long obsession with cars quickly turned into a mission to save them. When I realized the world was shifting hard toward EVs, I couldn’t shake one thought: why should the combustion engine die just because the fuel is flawed?
There had to be another way.
No one had figured out how to make a solution work at scale—especially not in a way that gearheads like me could actually use.
So I got to work.
That’s when Algol was born—a next-gen biofuel startup with one goal: keep combustion alive without killing the planet.
From Google Docs in a beat-up BMW to folder systems made in hotel parking lots, Algol was built with pure grit. I started by locking down the foundation—security, legal groundwork, research, and real-world testing plans.
Then came the engine. I chose a Honda D16Y8, a 4-cylinder with a cult following as our test mule—cheap, reliable, and built to take punishment. With PDFs, service manuals, and spreadsheets stacked like a data fortress, we set up everything for hands-on development.
No lab coat. No million-dollar funding.
Just focus, fire, and free Wi-Fi.
Algol isn’t just about fuel. It’s about freedom. It’s about keeping the spirit of driving alive without wrecking the planet in the process. Our mission is to create a carbon-negative biofuel that works with the engines we already love—and to do it by 2030.
This isn’t a science project.
It’s a rebellion against planned obsolescence.
We’re not here to follow the industry.
We’re here to change it.
Follow the journey. Or better yet—join it.
