The 10,000 gallons per acre per year theory is based on the results of small scale experiments that were conducted by NREL in New Mexico between 1978 and 1996, and it's fairly optimistic considering the marginal success they had. The problem was they were growing domesticated algae in surface pools where they were exposed to constant changes in temperature and competition from wild algae. The wild species better adapt to temperature changes because they exert less energy making oil, so the surface pool method doesn't produce that much fuel. Because of this NREL stopped research on algae and concluded in 1998 that petrodiesel prices would have to double to make algal biodiesel cost effective. Since then diesel prices have more than tripled and that's why the private sector continues to do research. They've found that they can grow delicate algae species in closed-circuit photobioreactors to produce high yields of oil. I haven't come across any published results yet so I don't know if the 10,000 gallon theory has been borne out, but given the sheer number of corporations researching algae I'd bet that number has already been surpassed.

I'd call it ridiculously optimistic and if they can get more than 33% profit now people would be brawling to get into the field and it would be all over the mass media.

Interesting stuff, Mazer. Thanks for the links. Alternative fuel technologies have come a long way.

Yeah there's so much alternative fuel around it's amazing that it can be kept so well hidden.

Nobody's asking you to invest in it, albed. I'm just reporting what I know.
Here's a couple more links for the rest of you: http://gas2.org/ http://claytonbodiecornell.greenopti...ory/biodiesel/ Last edited by Mazer : 27-03-08 at 11:45 AM. |

I looked 'cause I haven't any faith in biodiesel to loose.
So one algae farm company is a fraud. Big deal, there are frauds in every industry. The technology isn't ready to be implemented on an industrial scale, but that makes it no less promising. Here's a posting that apparently didn't show up in the links above: Tests Show Biofuel Algae Economically Viable. |

Another article by the same sleazebag parroting yet another company's unverified claims. You must be some kind of bullshit addict.

It sounds more and more like it's just one of the sorts of new emerging technologies and information you just don't hear about albed... you seem to have a habit of bleating your repetitive sheep-like opinions like someone that has quite a bit of investment in oil stocks.

May 12 2008 Another two inches of snow, this time a month later. I saw a couple of news stories about a downward trend in global temperatures with the predictible caveat that it didn't mean global warming wasn't occuring. We'll probably be well into the next glaciation before the idiots finally admit they were full of shit. Here we are: http://uk.reuters.com/article/enviro...82254220080509 Quote:

I'll see your two inches and raise you twelve. Not here in Denver but in the mountains no more than 25 miles to the west. I'm pretty well sick of it by now. Before the drought in Colorado ended spring pretty much began in late February. This year it didn't really begin until a few weeks ago.

You can thank whoever/whatever you ignorant crackpots want to thank, just don't try to include knowledgeable people who respect the truth with your "we".

Yeah I figured the "pleasures" part was sarcasm but Bush and chemtrails??
Didn't catch this little squirm before: Quote:
Subtle little shift in rhetoric there. How big a "part" will no doubt be left with considerable leeway. Looks like the life vests are getting buckled.
