Alternative Energy – Biofuel from Algae
Algae is the fastest growing plant life, and as an organism it converts sunlight into oil, scientists theorize that Algal biofuel can produce a whopping 30 times more energy per acre than any other biofuel option. The US Department of Energy has estimated that if Algal Biofuel replaced all conventional fuel in the country, it would require 15000 square miles of land to harvest the algae… which is roughly one seventh of the area that is used to harvest corn in the US every year. And a diverse group of byproducts, such as neutraceuticals and feedstocks for producing plastics, can be created in algal biofuel operations, making the production more cost effective. But before we start celebrating the great biofuel solution we’ve been looking for, there are a few problems… the biomass for producing a significant amount of algal biofuel just doesn’t exist yet. The algae has to be grown from scratch and harvesting it is very expensive at this point in time. The potential of Algal Biofuel is staggering… but the problem is that, as of now, it’s all just potential. It might be years before the technology catches up to make producing algal biofuel on a large scale possible… but when that time comes, we might be able to finally celebrate a more efficient, renewable, and environmentally friendly energy source.

Beautiful presenter and beautiful concept! Definitely worth a watch.
Why don’t we organize, find and support the real technologies. Well organized we can fund all relevant projects. However greed will have to be taken out of the picture. Hello my name is Jordan and I am a young social entrepreneur.
We are always pointing our fingers at the large conglomerates i.e. Government. That is keeping us from the legal and wide spread use of smart clean technologies. Well I hate to be so blunt but the fault and answer lie in our hands.
Sounds great. Better than the dinosaur death goop. Hate to ask – does it pollute when burned (like from a tailpipe)?
@jeffsandychelsea Thank you for noticing every word is posted by hand not by spam thanks again jr @ EPAOC.COM
@EPAofConcord Based on this spam message, I now have a negative view of your company. Congrats, employee!
@mikeye9 It’s algal, meaning that algae is used as a means of production, so that’s why it is called that. Just a different word to use.
@hiodr
Sorry, I think you mis heard her. She said ALGAE! Not completely useless government asses! For them, I dare say the only use is rat poison….as in being turned into it. Think about it. Not even the most hardened NYC rat can withstand the pure BS that Washington has to offer!
@mlh8723 no… how much oil can she generate out of 1L of cum?! that might be a very interesting alternative…

hey nice green house how come plants don’t move. I want to see a car that runs off it.
why does she say AL-JILL? instead of ALGEE.

@SidetickTV How did Bush cause oil to run out ?…….
Oooo-yummy!…algae…smokin’ sweetie…biofuel…imagining Cabo nude beach…fastest growing orgasm…er, organism…typing-with-one-hand………………..!!!!
something something.
algae biofuel is the future to fuel cars, trucks, trains, ships, planes, food, & other. Oil and natural gas are in the past. US going be richest once algae biofuel appear in this world as most common fuel. This fuel going replace all different type of fuel. algae biofuel rulez!
she’s talking, but i don’t hear a word.
I would hit that
Why is she hot? Does that add to her credibility?
by the time algae is viable, that chick will no longer be hot
i love biomass
better hurry up. Oil is running out… Bush screwed us ALL!!!!
@datzfast when i say funding i mean subsidies and investors, and the rest of your sentence doesnt make sense, please read it and rephrase, so i can get what your saying.
LOL
so is air,
