Algae Fuel, Bio Diesel and Alternative Fuel Information

All this and more makes grim reading, and while I had all the fantasy as leant how to manage to write my article about algae oil extraction. Maybe one day I can sit on harvest of my posts and lol, who knows?

Therefore, my advice to you is get into it!

Valcent Products said that its algae R&D team had reported producing one gram per liter of microalgae during a 90-day continuous production test at lab scale. The company said that, based on its configuration of vertical growing plastic bags and 50 percent oil content in best microalgae strains, this result translated into a production rate of 276 tons of algae per acre or 33,000 of algae oil. The company has continued to discuss its targets in terms of 10,000 gallons per acre, but said ..>>.

You would be amazed at this. Moreover, you should be surprised to learn.

Sapphire Energy isn't the only company developing the algae-to-oil technology. OriginOil also has its own proprietary technology to transform algae into what the company calls "new oil" that will be a direct competitor to petroleum. OriginOil uses a series or vertical stacks of a network of helix bioreactors in a self-contained algae production system. The algae are then divided into algae biomass and algae oil using an extraction subsystem. A cascading production strategy is in place to .. read the rest part.

Many do take the plunge. It is a big deal.

June 27th, 2008 MANHATTAN, KAN. — Research by two Kansas State University scientists could help with the large-scale cultivation and manufacturing of oil-rich algae in oceans for biofuel. K-State's Zhijian "Z.J." Pei, associate professor of industrial and manufacturing systems engineering, and Wenqiao "Wayne" Yuan, assistant professor of biological and agricultural engineering, have received a $98,560 Small Grant for ....

Have fun, but just remember, do not play on a live system!
