Company Turning Waste and Algae into Fuel Source
A company based in Clear Lake is turning waste and algae into renewable fuels.
Bud Jermeland, 51, president of Energae LP, said the primary focuses of his company are waste-based ethanol and the use of algae in the making of ethanol for the nutraceutical and pharmaceutical markets.
Energae is producing algae in South Carolina that will be used as a low-cost extract for alternative fuels. “We are committed to the fact that algae is the best long-term solution for biofuels — biodiesel in particular,” said Jermeland.
“There are several uses for algae that can be profitable in the short-term,” said Jermeland. “One is gasification of the algae biomass and using the green fuels — the end product from that process — to power generators creating green electricity to sell on the grid.”

Dear Sir:
Our lab is successfully worked out on a model on the sequestration of the C and metal from the stack of the thermal power plant using algae and moss. The stack will emit very low C content and as as well as metal from the coal based thermal power plant.
We are trying to use the rich algal moss waste in to the fuel
