I`m marine biology also! from BCS. MX First, you need, know what kinds of species produce in body percentage more of fats! Isolate and cultivate them! in ideal conditions! (is different for each organism) Then exist different types of methods for extraction and process these fats!For people that usually work with microalgae is easy know this! Lucky! Bye!More doubts! negaprion21@gmail.com Hi! I`m marine biology also! from BCS. MX

Isolate and cultivate them! in ideal conditions! (is different for each organism)
Then exist different types of methods for extraction and process these fats!

For people that usually work with microalgae is easy know this!
Lucky! Bye!

i know it eats alot of CO2 during its growth
but what about its conversion to oil isnt it still releasing CO2
and what its use in cars
doesnt it require something to be done to the car before it can be used and can the fuel operate at different temperatures

If done as an open source project a lot of hands on research would soon refine and improve the process. This blog could be the spark for such a group effort.

A slow flow through the tube for growth then the mature algae is dried and powdered and burned in the engine as a fine powder. Maybe, instead of powder, we could run a distiller in the centre. Oops, it's already way too complicated for my back yard!

Someone has to get the early subsidies to really research it, and those will mostly go to the research arms of larger companies. Those same companies are the ones currently accepting subsidies so that they can make a profit on the (as of yet) economically non-viable ethanol and soy-diesel they are producing. They will perfect the system, figure out how to make it viable, and begin producing it on a large scale. They won't bother to stop accepting subsidies to help their own bottom line. Most of us who have room for this in our backyards won't have the capital to get started, and the distribution channels will already be owned by the major corporate producers.The worst part of this whole thing? The companies who are getting these subsidies and starting biofuel production facilities are subsidiaries of the "Big Oil" companies. (They no longer call themselves Oil companies; they are Energy companies now.) They don't care if you burn biofuel instead of oil, they make money either way. They might even make more. And they don't care if farmland is lost to producing food that the world needs, because they are getting richer.
