Algae is the only biofuel feedstock that can truly take on oil.
|
|
Can produce oil yields more than 300x greater than competing feedstocks (gal/acre/year). |
|
Grow exponentially and broadly conducive to industrial production. |
|
Algae does not require fresh water for growth, helping preserve fresh water.
|
|
Production of algae biofuels and other energy from algae does not disrupt the food supply.
|
|
Algae or its residue from energy production can be processed into high value bioproducts, such as fish, animal and poultry feeds; organic fertilizers; and in cosmetics, dyes and other products, among other applications.
|
|
High energy algae-based fuels are compatible with existing processing, distribution, and transportation infrastructure.
|
|
Commercial potential to supply enough energy volume to meet global requirements.
|
|
Can grow in a wide range of temperatures and conditions.
|
|
Grows rapidly through the process of photosynthesis, requires H2O, CO2, nutrients and photons (sunlight) for the growth process to be complete:
H2O + CO2 + NH3 + P +PHOTONS -> BIOMASS +CO2
|
|
Commercially grown algae requires a constant source of CO2. The more CO2 consumed by the algae the faster & fatter it will grow. The greater the growth, the more CO2 is utilized and not emitted to the atmosphere.
