Bio fuel from algae

Deriving energy from algae is considered the Holy Grail of alternative energy. Algae present the best option for producing bio diesel in quantities sufficient to completely replace petroleum. Algae can yield 5,000-20,000 gallons per acre per year against traditional crops which can yield only about 50-150 gallons of bio diesel per acre per year, as more evidence comes out daily from the leaders of petroleum producing countries, the incentive for finding an alternative to petroleum rises higher and higher.

The algae energy field is still in its infancy. The pay-offs are big, and so are the challenges. Companies and entrepreneurs who enter the algae energy field today may have the early bird advantage. While people around the world have heard about the energy possibilities from algae and would like to know more, As fewer crude oil resources become available that will provide detailed insights into a new algae energy industry and its potential. With the status of various companies in this industry will go into these ventures as their future. It’s an environmentally friendly alternative, and what the future likely to hold for this industry? Using our deep expertise in this emerging industry, Oil algae will help get a very successful transport transition. Assisting the bio Companies in the Algae Fuel Opportunities with The tapping of engineered algae to produce bio-diesel and bio-ethanol has to be the best potential of great success, because algae is very oily (it has about a 50% oil composition), it is the fastest growing organism and it becomes very dense enough to be harvested three times a day.

Algae rapidly absorb carbon dioxide (CO2). To grow algae to produce bio-diesel will also benefited the environment in terms of reducing greenhouse gases causing global warming. This translates into green credit points for carbon emissions. As for feedstock it is competitive and a more efficient. As algae are used for mass production of bio diesel and even ethanol as it becomes more cost effective.
