Algae processing simplified because of lack of lignocellulose?
"Processing is simplified because of microalgae’s small grain size and lack of lignocellulose; found in all land-based biomass sources, lignocellulose greatly complicates the biomass-to-biofuel conversion process" - so says HR Biopetroleum - Read More

Liquid fuel (oil) from halophilic algae Dunaliella: a renewable source of energy, cost given
Liquid fuel in the form of a mixture of hydrocarbons has been produced from a renewable form of biomass, the green microalga Dunaliella, which is distributed in oceans and salt lakes throughout the world. The product is a high-quality oil low in sulfur and nitrogen and is obtained by pyrolysis of a suspension of the algal cells. Feasibility studies have determined that the total cost of oil produced from Dunaliella is $21.6 per barrel of crude oil. (1993) - Read More

XL's SuprtTrough Tech for Algae Production
XL says the Super Trough will enable algae biomass producers to extract three primary products from the algae: high-grade oil for biofuel production, fatty acids for omega and edible oils, and animal feed high in protein. The key component is the Super Trough liner that provides integrated aeration and lighting systems, Cloud said. That makes the algae grow much faster. It can be operated as an open or closed system. - Read More

Algae into oil in Sturgis
Could the fuel of the future be growing in ponds and waterways across America? A new local business thinks so, and it's set to take off at the Sturgis Waste Water Treatment Plant, where they plan to make fuel out of algae. It may be hard to believe that a wastewater treatment plant could be the site of an energy revolution, but that's the case, and it's all about algae. - Read More
