The Algae Solution
Algae grows at a very high rate, making it one of the fastest growing organisms on the planet. It is nature's power factory, voraciously consuming carbon dioxide and converting sunlight and nutrients into the green goo you see in ponds, lakes, and oceans. Algae has numerous advantages over land based crops and carries the potential to become a leading source of liquid fuels and bio-energy.
Algae has incredible flexibility and can be converted into a variety of products:
- Methane (Renewable Natural Gas (RNG))
- Coal Co-firing Electrical Generation
- Fertilizer
- Animal Feed
- Algal Lipid Oil
- Biodiesel
- Bio-kerosene / bio-jet fuel
- Carbohydrates / Cellulose
- Ethanol
- Butanol
- Lactic Acid
Algae voraciously consume atmospheric and oceanic carbon dioxide from the atmosphere and returns oxygen in its place as “waste.”
