ADVANTAGES
Algae
produces 30-100 times more oil per acre than corn and soybeans.
Algae biofuel contains NO sulfur.
Microalgae biofuel is non-toxic.
Microalgae biofuel is highly biodegradable.
Existing engines can use Microalgae biofuel without modification.
Microalgae biofuel can be mixed with conventional petroleum at any
ratio. As a result, this biofuel can use existing distribution
infrastructure.
Placing algae plants near carbon producing facilities like regular,
power plants, or manufacturing plants could sequester the CO2 they
create and use those emissions to help grow the algae. Algae actually
need the C02 for the process of photosynthesis.
