Pond-Powered Biofuels: Turning Algae into America's New Energy


--- Quote ---Strains of algae high in carbohydrates as well as oils produce starches that can be separated and fermented into ethanol; the remaining proteins can be turned into animal grains. GreenFuel hopes its pilot plant will see initial yields of 8000 gallons of biodiesel and 5000 gallons of ethanol per acre of algae.

However, care must be taken to ensure that the production avoids a negative return on the energy expended. In short, it doesn't make sense to expend more energy (gas, diesel, oil) to produce an alternate fuel intended as a direct replacement to existing fuels.

I saw the thing on the air powered car a few years ago, and it seemed at the same level of development. Hopefully it isnt a pipe dream that ran out of funding (or worse, a fatal flaw)

Speaking of PnR, how come I can never access that forum? It says it is unavailable all the time... Do I have to have a minimum post count or something?

Ahh thanx. I have read the rules, but I DID defeat the profanity censor once, as it prevented me from saying something simple (It was about me, not a flame). So I prolly wont be given access... Oh well...

(The word I used turns into smurfy here, and that didnt convey the meaning in the proper manner, esp since it wasnt a happy form of smurfy.. It was a bad one about my life, and anything about smurfs didnt fit)
