need an oil alternative‚ which is both economically friendly‚ and environmentally friendly. Algae farming tends to fall in both of these categories; what’s more‚ it is also efficient. For three very important rationales‚ I stand in a strong affirmation for this bill‚ in which we will fund algae farming. First off‚ Algae farming can be farmed realistically anywhere. There are very few requirements for algae biofuel. All biofuels that are created from land plants have specific soil-quality requirements

Make your own biodiesel Biodiesel Converting vegetable oil to biodiesel is probably the best all-round solution (or we think so anyway). Where do I start? Start with the process‚ NOT with the processor. The processor comes later. Start with fresh unused oil‚ NOT with waste vegetable oil (WVO)‚ that also comes later. Start by making a small‚ 1-litre test batch of biodiesel using fresh new oil. You can use a spare blender‚ or‚ better‚ make a simple Test-batch mini-processor. Keep going

Reduction of Carbon dioxide greenhouse gas by microalgae fixation leading to biomass‚ biochemical and biofuel production After recognizing that the first and second generation of biodiesels is from sugar‚ vegetable oils and lignocellulosic biomass‚ microalgae are now known as the ‘third generation of biodiesel’. As many studies have told us that microalga is a promising organism for mass production of biomass and biofuel which are renewable and environmental friendly. Microalgae have a higher

Green algae have many similarities to land plants. It has many variety body types and the multicellular forms do not have cells separated into tissues‚ which is what divides green algae from land plants. Green algae are a very diverse group of freshwater algae. Many green algae form long filaments. The cells stay attached after they divide. Spirogyra can become so numerous they form dense mats of growth in surfaces of ponds‚ which is called pond scum. This pond scum is interesting to see through

used three different species of algae‚ Macrocystis (brown)‚ Plocamium (red) and Ulva (green). Before we conducted anything‚ we first measured the initial oxygen concentration in the water that was used to house each alga. This was done because in the water that we used there happened to be phytoplankton which can respire and photosynthesize. If we didn’t take them into consideration our results would end up skewed. Once that was known we took a piece of each algae that had a surface area of 39.26

December 2013 Algae Biodiesel "Most fossil fuel supply experts project a future in which world crude oil supply drops two to five per cent per year... If it happens in 2015: by 2030 people must manage on 33% less oil‚ in 2045 they have 50% less‚ in 2060 they have 75% less" (“Fossil Fuel Depletion”). Fuel is essential in our society‚ and this depletion has affected and will continue to affect everyone. Because fossil fuels are nonrenewable‚ biodiesel is the next best thing. "Biodiesel refers to any

In 1912 he observed‚ " … the use of vegetable oils for engine fuels

Algae Could Solve World’s Fuel Crisis Von Philip Bethge Dan Robertson is working on algae that can produce biofuel. Genetically modified blue and green algae could be the answer to the world’s fuel problems. Bioengineers have already developed algae that produce ethanol‚ oil and even diesel -- and the only things the organisms need are sunlight‚ CO2 and seawater.

Algae are simple organisms that typically produce their own food through photo-synthesis. They are similar to higher plants‚ but they lack many of the distinct organs that you will find in a higher plant. The higher plants are believed to have evolved from algae‚ and algae are believed to have gotten their capacity for photosynthesis from cyanobacteria. Algae can be unicellular as well as multi-cellular. Large and complex forms found in the ocean are commonly referred to as seaweed and can look very
