Algal High-Rises and Airships: 2nd Most Bizarre Biofuels Story of the Year
Algal biofuels were proposed last year as an answer to the stalled Filene’s construction site at Downtown Crossing in Boston. The Eco-Pod, as designed, is a vertical algae bioreactor built with custom prefabricated modules. According to Höweler + Yoon, the proposed pods will would serve as biofuel sources and as micro-incubators for other research and development programs.
Meanwhile, the conceptual architect Vincent Callebaut developed an algae-powered hybrid aircraft concept, the Hydrogenase, designed to fly at 6.500 feet (2,000 meters), carry 200 tons of freight and achieve airspeeds of 109 Mph.
