Algae are 100 times more productive than a field of corn and will provide a
means of biofuel production without
wasting
valuable agricultural land. Algae production systems may be installed on brown field sites next to sources of carbon dioxide such as power stations, distilleries or they can be located at sea. The nutrient source may be urea or sewage effluent as a source of nitrogen and phosphates, carbon dioxide will be extracted from the air or injected into the water.
The very first diesel engine used coal dust, in this respect you can actually use powdered algae as a fuel source for a diesel engine, or you simply extract the oils to use as a fuel source.
Dryden Aqua have developed the instrumentation and continuous harvesting technology that makes this technology feasible. More information will appear soon. |
| The photo below is of a marine dinoflagellate algae called Noctiluca. In terms of global warming and health of both our aquatic and atmospheric environment, this algae belongs to a group known as Prootists that are one of the most important to the health and well being of our planet follows. |
