Strain selection
Screening locally relevant microalgae for growth, resilience, and lipid potential without publishing proprietary protocols.
LANTAS / Jambi, Indonesia
Growing life,
powering the world.
PT Gapah Lantas Baharu is an applied research company developing microalgae pathways for renewable lipid feedstocks—without asking food crops or forests to carry the cost.

01 / Our thesis
Energy feedstocks should grow beside food systems—not over them.
Microalgae can grow quickly, use non-arable environments, and produce lipids with potential across bioenergy and renewable materials. The opportunity is real; the work is proving a route that is efficient, responsible, and useful at local scale.
LANTAS connects biological research, process operations, product systems, and commercial thinking in one founder-led team.
AProtect the commons
No food displacement. No forest conversion.
BProve before promising
Stage-gated research and clearly labelled claims.
CBuild for the field
Safety, repeatability, and local context from day one.
02 / Work in progress
Three connected workstreams, one validation path.
Public summaries only. Detailed methods and results are shared with qualified partners under the appropriate agreement.
Research
Bench validation02
Extraction pathways
Comparing practical routes from biomass to renewable lipid feedstock, with safety and repeatability designed in from the start.
Concept development03
Distributed cultivation
Exploring how underused water resources could support future cultivation, learning, and local participation.
We are not trying to make algae sound magical. We are doing the disciplined work to discover where it can be genuinely useful.
03 / Founder-led
Four disciplines around one hard problem.
The public profile stays intentionally concise. Relevant technical backgrounds and credentials are available during partner due diligence.
