Cellular Optics for Open Pond Algae Cultivation
You are at: Oilgae Blog.
Besides getting the algae to convert more sunlight to fuel, another issue that needs to be addressed is how to configure bio-culture tanks in such a way that sunlight can penetrate the outer layer of algae so that lower-down layers can also participate in the photo-conversion. Melis calls the overall effort to maximize the efficiency of the solar-to-product conversion process with microalgae, “cellular optics.”
Tasios Melis Said “Further improvement in the performance of photosynthesis under mass culture conditions, and in the yield of ‘biofuels’ by the microalgae are needed before cost parity with traditional fuels can be achieved.”
