us oil from algae; perhaps we should try Nature’s
way again

Commercial Ventures
Some of the more prominent
companies and partnerships working on commercial algae based biodiesel
include:
- GreenFuel Technologies Corp.
- Veridium (a partial subsidiary of
GreenShift)
- AquaFlow Bionomic, New Zealand
- Kwikpower
- Algae Biofuels – a
subsidiary of PetroSun Drilling
- Energy Farms Inc., New Mexico,
part of Nanoforce

- Solazyme - A
biotechnology company devoted to harnessing the energy-harvesting
machinery of photosynthetic microbes to produce valuable products.
Exploiting microbial photosynthesis, the Company utilizes proprietary
genetic engineering methods to develop commercially relevant,
sunlight-driven biochemical pathways.
- CEHMM Biodiesel Project
- The CEHMM biodiesel project is a research and development project
investigating biodiesel production processes and the propagation,
harvesting, and extraction of oil from both brine and fresh water
Algae. This algae oil is to be used as a feedstock for biodiesel
production. While algae is one of the most important feedstock
considered by CEHMM, other feedstocks are under investigation as
practical supplemental crops for area farmers. For example, CEHMM
is collaborating with New Mexico State University Agricultural Science Center
not only on algae research but also on research to determine if winter
canola can offer some diversity to the local supply of oil to be
processed into biodiesel.
- Kai BioEnergy Corp. is
a producer of economical biodiesel crude oil from algae biomass.
- Valcent’s
Vertigro Technology

About Oilgae - Oilgae - Oil & Biodiesel from Algae
has a focus on biodiesel production from algae while also discussing
alternative energy in general. Algae present an exciting possibility as a
feedstock for biodiesel, and when you realise that oil was originally
formed from algae - among others - you think "Hey! Why not oil
again from algae!"
To facilitate exploration of oil production from algea as well as exploration
of other alternative energy avenues, Oilgae provides web links, directory,
and related resources for algae-based biofuels / biodiesel along with inputs
on new inventions, discoveries & breakthroughs in other alternative
energy domains such as solar, wind, nuclear, hydro, geothermal, hydrogen
& fuel cells, gravitational, geothemal, human-powered, ocean & wave /
tidal energy. We hope Oilgae proves to be useful as a research information
& inputs resources, and as a source of news & info for algea business
& trade of algal oil, algal fuels & new alternative energy products -
specially with regard to new feedstock / feedstocks, production processes
and uses, and market info such as price / prices, data & statistics
