Algae: The Biofuel Revolution
"The sustainable energy age has begun. It was recently announced that a company in Florida called Green Flight International (GFI) has plans to construct a $100-million, algae biofuel plant aimed at making fuel for the aviation industry as well as for ground-based transportation
GFI has also completed the world's first jet-aircraft flight powered by 100% biofuel. GFI president and CEO Douglas Rodante says that "algae-based biofuel would be able to replace petroleum without alterations to engines or infrastructure, and could be used for all sorts of transportation."
The potential of algae biofuel for both vehicles and air travel is so promising that it will play a large role in helping America finally become energy independent. Biofuel from algae completely eliminates the food vs. fuel concerns of other biofuels, and CO2 will be significantly reduced. Algae are the fastest growing plants in the world, and that fact translates into 20,000 gallons of biofuel per acre! Soybean, corn, switchgrass and other biofuels cannot even compete......."

Sun, December 7, 2008 - 6:48 PMYawn, another scam in the making.
what is the difference between big petroleum oil and big algae oil? -

There is a huge difference from what I ahve seen. -

Re: Algae: The Biofuel Revolution
Mon, December 15, 2008 - 7:07 AMAHH, algae may be produced RIGHT HERE IN THE US & cannot be outsourced. If rural areas that had the land had an acre to build an algae plant they could have the algae biofuel station in front - that would eliminate the costs of shipping & distribution. It would also cut down on semi's on the roads.
Bear did you actually read the blog & view the videos? It was all explained. -

Fri, January 9, 2009 - 5:43 PMI want the scientific papers published in peer reviewed journals. Not another Myer scam promotion. You're posting this crap everywhere and no one has even run a motor on it yet. -

While you're crying for papers there's a $100 million dollar new algae plant being built in the US and jets are being powered 100% Biofuel from algae - all you need to do was actually read the blog - the sources are all right there.

What are complaining about anyway? Do you work for the oil industry or something? Geesh

Re: Algae: The Biofuel Revolution
Mon, February 2, 2009 - 2:02 AMhere's a paper: www.unh.edu/p2/biodiesel...cle_alge.html
Also you may want to look in the science journal archives on algae. I don't think this science is new.

Re: Algae: The Biofuel Revolution
Sat, January 31, 2009 - 11:22 PMNot to mention that growing algae is rapidly becoming hydroponics on steroids. This has great potential. Not just for oil, but for hydrogen, food, fertilizer, and I believe carbon dioxide control in the atmosphere.
Not only that but you could probably grow it in space to sustain space travel.

Sat, February 7, 2009 - 6:31 PMAir Force One converted to Algae biofuel
Put your request in to President Obama to convert Air Force One Jets over to operate on algae biofuel. Anything that runs on diesel can easily be converted to run on algae based biofuels - even military equipment - all without food vs. fuel concerns.
Mr. President, concerning "real" energy policy for the US & the recent news of a new algae biofuel plant in Florida for jet-aircraft, would you please consider converting Air Force One over to run on algae biofuel? "GFI president and CEO Douglas Rodante says that "algae-based biofuel would be able to replace petroleum without alterations to engines or infrastructure..."

Re: Algae: The Biofuel Revolution
Sun, February 8, 2009 - 2:53 PMJust AirForceOne?
What would make more sense is to make a biofuel that replaces JP8 Petroleum based fuel. Then have all the air force use it. AirForceOne is an air force plane and is maintained by the air force. Changing just one plane would be and exhortation amount of cost and possibly diminish the operational range. Changing a whole class of fuel to work on jet hevies (air liner class planes - KC10, KC135, C-141, C-17, C-130, C-5....etc) makes more sense. -

Sun, February 8, 2009 - 2:59 PM***runs on diesel can easily be converted to run on algae based biofuels***
In the case of turbofan jet engines, theres a variety of fuels that can be used. Turbofan jet engines can even run Hydrogen straight.
That's why I don't understand that nobody has been looking into turbofan jets to power hybrid cars instead of the internal combustion engines they make us use.

Re: Algae: The Biofuel Revolution
Tue, February 10, 2009 - 6:47 AMThese are all great ideas eric ... all of it will probably have to wait until that $100 million algae biofuel plant mentioned in the blog is finished though. -

Re: Algae: The Biofuel Revolution
Tue, February 10, 2009 - 9:34 AMWell, now yes. Before no. If hybrid cars had turbofan generators, they would be more fuel efficient (just because of the weight savings) while using petroleum fuel and waiting for biofuels.
But about algae.....I think anyone/everyone can grow algae. I thought about people growing their own aglae and using it for various things. Oil for cooking and fuel, algae iteself for fertilizer and food.
I bet someone could grow their own algae and run their house on the biofuel from it. The first generator I can think of that many people have built is stirling engine based. -

Re: Algae: The Biofuel Revolution
Tue, February 10, 2009 - 4:13 PMI agree eric.
Hey, do you have a link to these "turbofan generators" & "turbofan jet engines" you mentioned? -

Re: Algae: The Biofuel Revolution
Tue, February 10, 2009 - 5:35 PMNo I don't.
The idea grew out of the APU systems that US Air Force and Commercial Jet Liners have. Also the fact that M1 Abrams tank uses two tubrofan jets to power itself, and Jay Leno's jet motorcycle.
