Re: [Biofuel] Biodiesel from Algae
Huh, that's funny, I have been very successful making algae from biodiesel, especially in the Summer. -Weaver [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: Hello Doug, - Original Message - From: doug swanson [EMAIL PROTECTED] To: biofuel@sustainablelists.org Sent: Sunday, June 25, 2006 12:33 AM Subject: Re: [Biofuel] Worldwide oil consumption seen soaring When we first started hearing about Hydrogen, there had been relatively little research done on the difficulties that we are faced with when considering Hydrogen. Since then, there have been remarkable discoveries in the use of catalysts for brreaking the water molecule that assist in providing more bang for the buck. This reduces some of the energy in vs. the energy out equation, which still isn't as energy effective as fuels for which we already have infrastructure in place. TiO2 comes readily to mind. One way out, particularly for bypassing the low volumeteric energy density of H2 and hence the need for very storage pressures, is to use direct methanol fuel cells. I think nuclear has its place. And if you look up on a sunny day, you'll see the place I'm talking about. I feel that there will likely be some thinking outside the box discoveries (or in some cases, old ideas revisited) that will enable a more efficient conversion from solar nuclear to a transportable fuel in the future. To my way of thinking, biofuels are a stepping stone out of the stone age, where we will no longer depend on combustion for travel. A hundred years from now, our current hopes and designs for Hydrogen will probably be seen as yet another of those stepping stones to an efficient transportation system that doesn't leave behind toxins that generations for the rest of time will bear the consequences of. One of the cleanest and most effective transformations I can think of between the solar nuclear source, and the transportable fuel we use is photosynthesis, and nature has experience doing this... Waste products are used and recycled in the natural cycle. Imagine if we could duplicate the process... Carbon dioxide and water go in, solar energy is applied, and hydrocarbons and oxygen come out. This is exactly what goes on in an open pond/photobioreactor when assisted by CO2 supply. http://www.csmonitor.com/2006/0111/p01s03-sten.html Building on NREL's Aquatic Species Programme, Dr. Isaac Berzin, an ex-MIT chemical engineer and CTO of Greenfuels Corp,. has estabished a 30 tube photobioreactor at MIT's 20 MW NG based cogen Power plant to convert CO2 in the flue gases into microalgae in the presence of sunlight (from the original nuclear reactor, Surya). He is now conducting scale up studies at 1000 MW plant.. He is not alone in this, others like Dr, Bayless of Greenshift Corp. Ohio University are working on more cost effective alternatives to achieve the same purpose. http://www.irccm.de/greenhouse/project.html The Universtiy of Bremen, alongwith Blue BioTech is also conducting similar studies on a 300 MW Power plant. The idea seems to particularly appeal to the pertroleum industry which is now faced with the inevitable. http://www.greencarcongress.com/2006/06/petrosun_drilli.html PetroSun Drilling, an emerging provider of oilfield services to major and independent producers of oil and natural gas, has formed Algae BioFuels Inc. as a wholly-owned subsidiary. All these efforts are predicated on the much higher photosynthetic efficiency of microalgae (~ 5%) leading to much higher oil yields per acre @ 20-30 times compared to Tree Borne Oilseeds. Algae seem to be slowly coming out of the pond slime into the mainstream to claim their rightful place in the sun ;-) Someone will figure it out, probably even get a patent on something nature has been doing forever, a tree in your front yard will be seen as a patent infringement...

Re: [Biofuel] biodiesel from algae in New Zealand
Well, I'm not fully up to date on this, but I do seem to remember they were using GMO algae for biodiesel, so it actually is a bit concerning, considering the problems that are already cropping up from other GMO products.

Re: [biofuel] Biodiesel from algae
List member John Harris in Australia was trying to do it three years ago but I don't think he got very far, if he had I'm sure we'd have heard about it. Andrew Lowe posted this message: Forget the algae. At the moment it is not worth it. You require huge amounts of land, huge amounts of infrastructure and then the ability to actually grow the little beggers. Oh I forgot to mention, which one do you use? There are many thousands of stains of algae but only a few have been looked at. Like a lot of other people on this list I was fired up about algae, spent some time in the Uni library, had my biochemist wife decipher some things for me and came away with the conclusion that it will require quite a bit of PhD level research and then big $$$ for the setup before it can go ahead.
