However, most of the algae industry successes have been limited mainly to current scientific knowledge and even less on breakthroughs in the use of algae or the commissioning of larger production facilities. The European Workshop Biotechnolgy of Microalgae which took place earlier this month in the vicinity of Be…

Almost all the pieces are in place: 1) Monstrous supply of nat-gas in Russia and other countries in east Asia needing market 2) Nat gas mega-port just built south of Ensenada in Baja 3) Sempra working on getting okay for massive new carrying capacity lines into San Diego from Imperial Valley 4) Multiple companies in San Diego area working on algae based biofuels, including Craig Venter at Genome that just got a $600 million deal with Exxon 5) Imperial Valley is an already polluted desert with 360 sunny days a year and a friendly business climate 6) Salton Sea in Impe…

Brazilian sugar cane as a biofuel factory. Caetano Barreira photo There was a company ready to be promoted Ma maple items. Third generation technology from Brown algae extract grape fuel. Because the cost of food,the current biofuel technology roundly criticized. The world's first one burn "fruit oil" has withstood the giant airliner flying test."Biofuels" is taking off,and will occupy an important fuel market position. However,since the birth of biofuels since the day of constant controversy,some even say that the development of "bio-fuels" is guilty of "crimes agai…

They are called Botryococcus braunii and Scenedesmus obliquus: difficult names that identify the two micro-algae successfully tested in the Gulf of Naples, in recent days, to purify sea water. And, by the results provided by the Interdepartmental Centre for Research for the management of hydro-biological resources and aquaculture ( CRIAcq ) of the University Federico II, the experiment seems to have succeeded. Have dimensions of a few millimeters algae used by Italian researchers in the waters of Capri and Nerano, on the Amalfi Coast, both seaside towns of great beau…

If you're new here SUBSCRIBE to News RSS feed . Thanks for visiting! L ' biodiesel industry is facing a crisis before, and now is looking for real alternatives to high-growth industry. But even the best alternative to vegetable oil, such as cellulose, may take several years before they develop fully and concretely. We have all read stories about the production of algae for biodiesel biofuel as only able to impose the use of oil, but none of those stories are still yet materialized. But the fact that commercially harvesting algae for biodiesel could create high yields…

ECOLOGY - You will think the next time you go to the beach or you eat Japanese. Some algae are now subscribed capital movements on a large scale. And then to speak of a new "green gold", it is perhaps more a matter of time. Beginning in January 2013, an Australian company planned to sell $ 200 million of bonds in Europe to finance its expansion in Texas and Brazil. The kind of information that makes the daily economic news except that the company in question, Algae Tech LTD is fully oriented operating algae. Specifically, micro-algae to produce biofuels.

Display The EU is to meet its ambitious climate targets. Fuel from food crops has to be in the future play a smaller role. Instead, EU Energy Commissioner Guenther Oettinger wants to promote second-generation biofuels. The European Commission wants to put less incentives for the consumption of biofuels. Negative effects of climate and food security would take more account of the Brussels authority in the future. In order to achieve the self-set climate targets of the EU countries to fuel from food crops contribute less. Presented a proposal to EU Energy Commissioner …
