"World How do We Reduce Our Dependence on Fossil Fuels?

Amazing Algae Biodiesel Production"

Algae Biodiesel Photo Bioreactors and Algae Harvesting

Bio Pioneers in green companies have developed algae biodiesel production

and algae oil harvesting systems and equipment for growing algae and
harvesting the algae in a very efficient manner for use in algae biofuels such
as biodiesel from algae and algae ethanol.

Like other plants, algae stores energy in the form of lipids. Growing algae has
potential for algae oil production due to its fast growth rate and the high oil
content of some varieties. Some species of algae are so rich in algal oil that it
accounts for over 50% of their mass, which means not counting the water,
which is over 90% of the algae.

The National Renewable Energy Laboratory (NREL) has identified approximately

300 species of algae, as varied as the diatoms (genera Amphora, Cymbella,
Nitzschia) and green algae (genera Chlorella in particular) as potentially good
sources of oil from algae. Diatoms, or Bacillariophytes, are unicellular,
microscopic algae. These organisms are widespread in salt water where they
constitute the largest portion of phytoplankton biomass. There exist
approximately 100,000 known species around the world. More than 400 new
specimens are described each year.

Properly engineered algae systems could produce annually between 2,000-

20,000 gallons of biodiesel-worthy algae plant oil per acre. Algae biodiesel
and algae ethanol stand as the great green hope of the clean biofuel revolution.
For comparison, biodiesel produced from soybeans produces 50 gals/acre/yr.
Biodiesel from palm oil yields 600 gals/acre/yr.

Some algae harvesting systems retail for $100,000 US dollars or more. Some
algae systems can process one gallon of algae oil per minute from a fluid
stream that is half algae/half water by mass & where half of the algae cell mass
is oil.

Algae Biodiesel production and algae oil harvesting systems that work in
a efficient manner (Use energy conservatively) for growing algae and
harvesting algae into Algae biofuels will be the new and long lasting answer to
our question of “World How do we reduce our dependence on fossil fuels.”

Frequently Asked Questions – Algae Biodiesel

Can algae be used for Biodiesel production?
Yes, algae or algal are very quick growing and can be grown in a variety of
conditions.

Is algae production less expensive per gallon than soy vegetable oil
production?
Yes, algae production uses less water than soy production per gallon of oil
produced.
Algae also grow more Biodiesel fuel usable fats and oils than soy by more than
20 times as much per acre. Algae paste is also used as an animal feed and or
fertilizer.

Can you really start an Algae Biodiesel Farm in your own back yard?
Definitely! Check out the only book out there on the subject at Making Algae
Biodiesel at Home at this Biodiesel 101 E-Library here:

What do I do with the algae paste after I extract the oil out of it?
You can sell it in the marketplace if it is an edible variety or use it as a fertilizer.
