[Land-speed] Algae Biodiesel

[drmayf]

Yep, algae is a great producer of bio diesel.  However, there were a few 
significant details missing, lol.. Like this takes the equivalent of 200 
acres to produce he 100,000 gallons per YEAR It also need carbon dioxide 
as well. Yeah we have lots of that right now but putting a facility in 
th emiddl eof nowhere requires yo have some extracion methods for CO2 to 
feed to the algae.  Just supposing, bu if you wanted to replace all the 
petro fuels with this then you woul dneed approximately 731,000 acre 
equivalents.  And did we notice how the extraction is done? Nope becaus 
eit is not as easy to do as made to sound.  That takes a fair amount of 
energy itslf as I understand it. You don't just throw a wad of it into 
the tank of the truck. I believer it has to be dried first, then crushed 
and the oils separated form the left overs and then processed.  Will it 
work, You betcha! I saw a proram the other evening regarding a power 
plant in partnership with an algae company doing similar except that 
they were capturing the co2 from the stacks to feed the algae and they 
also used bio reactors which were individual grow tanks, similar to this.

I hope this happens but believe me, diesel won't come back down in 
price. How you gonna get them back on the farm when they been to the 
city, lol...

Good catch, I like that  people are thinking out of the box..
