Is Algae the Real Future of Biofeul?

June 12th, 2009

A piece at Renewable Energy World recently asked that question.

Energy policy at the moment sets targets for biofuel use. Those targets are pretty high and only a certain amount (less than half, eventually) can come from ethanol. Where will the rest come from?

Algae has emerged as a promising feedstock for future biofuels due to its high energy content, energy yield per acre, fast growth and ability to grow in water of varying quality. Algae's potential, at least in theory, is remarkable.

The fairly lengthy piece looks at the state of biofuel from algea and points out that algae could be 100 times more productive per acre for biodiesel than soybeans. Plus, no one eats algae.
