Gold Coast Energy Firm Goes Green, to Get Oil from Algae

15 May 07

ICON Energy, the Robina-based oil explorer, has gone green in its latest venture with a plan to snare a stake in a US bio-diesel business.

The company, which for years has been searching for oil in Louisiana as well as the Surat Basin in Australia, has signed a letter of intent with PetroSun Inc of Arizona for a 20 per cent share of a licence to produce bio-diesel from algae.

The plan will see Icon establish a new bio-fuel company in Australia. PetroSun will also take a 55 per cent interest in Icon Energy subsidiary Icon Drilling.

What do you all make of the case study by Krassen Dimitrov,PhD?

His bottom line, after a very close technical analysis, is that Biodiesel from Algae will make economic sense when a barrel of Fossil Oil hits $800!

Not very encouraging.
What, if anything, has he got wrong?
