PetroAlgae Becomes New Focus of Algae-Based Biofuels
Add another new fuel type in the world of algae-based biofuels. This year PetroAlgae will help demonstrate the near-term commercial viability of algae-based biofuel. In contrast with corn and soy, algae does not compete with the food supply, actually consumes C02 (2.2 times its own weight), leaves no toxic waste during the harvesting process, is essentially carbon neutral and is 25x to 100x more productive than other crop feedstocks. PetroAlgae can replace the entire world’s supply of diesel on a very small fraction of the Earth’s landmass.
While the benefits of algal fuel are clear, commercialization has so far been unattainable. While most algae companies to date have focused almost exclusively on the science of algae, PetroAlgae has focused on developing a turnkey modular construction that can be replicated on a massive scale globally. The PetroAlgae process ensures consistency and efficiency, which directly leads to lower costs.
