Bio-diesel: Engineered algae the way to go

News from Malaysia, KA Cheah, Feb 5, 07

Excerpts:

1. There are plans for Tenaga Nasional Berhad (TNB) and all the independent power producers (IPPs) in Malaysia to grow engineered algae as feedstock in bio-reactors at their power stations to produce bio-diesel and also bio-ethanol.

2. The tapping of engineered algae to produce bio-diesel and bio-ethanol has the best potential of great success because algae is very oily (it has about a 50% oil composition), it is the fastest growing organism and it becomes very dense enough to be harvested three times a day.

3. The absorption of carbon dioxide (CO2) to grow algae and then produce bio-diesel has also benefitted the environment in terms of reducing greenhouse gases causing global warming. This translates into green credit points for Malaysia as well. While Malaysian bio-diesel using palm-oil as feedstock is fine it could become obsolete and non-competitive when more efficient feedstock such as algae are used for mass production of biodiesel and ethanol.

Oil from Algae Could be Cost Competitive by 2009

A brief Feb 2007 news item from ISA

Excerpts:

1. There may soon be a new way to manufacture biodiesel from algae.
2. There is research going on right now to produce by 2009 an algae-biodiesel that is cost-competitive.
3. The world today relies on fossil fuels to supply much of its energy, and there are currently 13 terawatts of energy used per year. A terawatt is 1,000 billion watts, and Seefeldt said usage should double to 26 terawatts by the year 2050. Fossil fuels are expensive, finite, and generate greenhouse gasses harmful to the environment
4. A team at Utah State University has formed the Biofuels Program to develop new and emerging technologies that will produce methane, biodiesel, hydrogen, and alcohols from renewable, carbon-dioxide-neutral energy sources, such as consumer and agricultural waste and sunlight.

Personalities & organisations mentioned: Lance Seefeldt, Utah State University professor of chemistry and biochemistry.

Richard Branson eyes Algae biofuel

By Janie Stewart, The Marlborough Express, 17 January 2007

Excerpts:

1. Marlborough, New Zealand biofuel company Aquaflow Bionomic Corporation may be getting an investment from Sir Richard Branson, the Virgin Group boss

2. Branson met with New Zealand Climate Change Minister David Parker recently to discuss three methods of biofuel production in New Zealand, including Aquaflow's revolutionary technology using wild algae from the Blenheim sewage ponds.

3. Aquaflow is in talks with was Virgin Fuels, the company set up by the Virgin group to invest in biofuels.

4. It is reported that Richard Branson had pledged to spend $NZ4.5 billion from his rail and airline business profits over the next 10 years on projects to reduce greenhouse gas emissions, including biofuels research.

5. Interest had come from six major organisations in the UK, America and Hong Kong and Aquaflow expected to have a pilot programme for algal biodiesel running in America and elsewhere in the next 12 months, he said.

6. The company plans to raise $5 million to take the company to the stage of being able to build a commercial plant for biodiesel production.

7. It is reported that some premium venture capital companies are showing growing interest in biodiesel and in algae-based biodiesel.

8. Aquaflow began operating in May 2006 after it cracked the engineering technology needed to harvest the wild algae from the sewage ponds and chemically extract the fatty lipids to be turned into fuel. It is believed to be the only company in the world to make biodiesel out of wild algae.

Future power : pond scum to biodiesel; renewable fuels from algae

Cherry Creek News, 23 January 2007

Excerpts:

1. Solix Biofuels Inc., a startup company based in Boulder, is working with Colorado State University engineers to commercialize technology that can cheaply mass produce oil derived from algae and turn it into biodiesel

2. Solix officials plan to commercialize the technology over the next two years.

3. Solix officials estimate that widespread construction of its photo-bioreactor system could meet the demand for the U.S. consumption of diesel fuel - about 4 million barrels a day - by growing algae on less than 0.5 percent of the U.S. land area, which is otherwise unused land adjacent to power plants and ethanol plants. The plants produce excess carbon dioxide, which is necessary to turn algae into oil.

4. Colorado State and Solix officials are collaborating with New Belgium Brewing Co. to use excess carbon dioxide from the brewery’s plant to test the algae-based biodiesel process.

Personalities & organizations mentioned: Bryan Willson, director of Colorado State's Engines and Energy Conversion Laboratory; Doug Henston, chief executive officer of Solix; Mark Wdowik, vice president for Technology Transfer at Colorado State University Research Foundation;

Report forecasts a decade of explosive growth for biodiesel

Posted by Giles Clark, London, 30 January 2007

The global market for biodiesel is poised for explosive growth in the next ten years according to a report, 'Biodiesel 2020: A Global Market Survey', released by the energy intelligence agency Emerging Markets Online. "Although Europe currently represents 90% of global biodiesel consumption and production, the U.S. is now ramping up production at a faster rate than Europe, and Brazil is expected to surpass U.S. and Europe by the year 2015," says William Thurmond, the report's author.

Excerpts:

1. Biodiesel is a natural fit in Europe, Asia and Brazil where diesel fuel is more common than in the U.S. "It is possible that Biodiesel could represent as much as 20% of all on-road diesel used in Brazil, Europe, China and India by the year 2020..."

2. Currently, the U.S. is the fastest growing biodiesel market in the world. Demand for biodiesel in the U.S. has grown so fast in 2006 that the seventy major biodiesel plants are barely able to keep up. To meet this demand, over fifty new, larger-scale plants are in construction.

3. In Europe, biodiesel represents 2% of total on-road fuel consumption and is expected to reach 6% by 2010.

4. The survey finds that by the year 2020, Brazil is expected to produce the largest volume of biodiesel in the world; and China could eventually become the largest consumer of biodiesel in the world, surpassing Europe and the U.S. by 2020.

Utah scientists join global-warming fight

U. of U. looks to burn coal more cleanly; USU goes a dirtier route, hoping to turn pond scum into biodiesel, says this article from Greg Lavine of The Salt Lake Tribune, Feb 2007

Excerpts from the article:

1. At Utah State University, a team hopes to turn substances such as pond scum into biodiesel. One group is trying to make the best of the world's reliance on fossil fuels; the other anticipates a time when untapped parts of nature can be harvested to produce cleaner fuels.

2. "We can't replace all of our fossil energy with solar power; that's not going to resolve the issue," says a researcher.

3. Coal's abundance and low cost may make it a bridge to future solutions. Part of the U. team's goal is to find ways to sequester carbon dioxide, a major culprit in global warming.

4. In traditional coal plants, carbon dioxide is released into the atmosphere, which contributes to the heating of the lower atmosphere. Available technologies turn carbon dioxide into a liquid that can be pumped deep underground for storage.

5. Most coal plants use air to fuel the fires that burn the coal, but the output is a mix of nitrogen and CO2. Nitrogen cannot be turned into a liquid and is not easily removed from the exhaust product. U. researchers want to create coal plants that use pure oxygen to fuel the fire, thus eliminating nitrogen from the output.

6. A USU team is working on a natural fuel source that could help replace fossil fuels - an idea involving growing algae as a way to sequester carbon dioxide streaming from coal-fired power plants. Algae, which grow by photosynthesis, need sunlight, carbon dioxide and nutrients to survive. Funneling the carbon dioxide to mass quantities of pond scum, or other algae, would prevent the carbon from finding its way into the atmosphere, while helping algae grow and ultimately yield oil that can be transformed into biodiesel.

7. Estimates are that 10,000 gallons of biodiesel per acre could be pulled from the right algae farm. Right now, the key is to find algae that grow fast while having enough fat content to create biodiesel, he said. "It's gonna take us three to five years to really determine whether we can do what we want to do economically," said the researcher working on the algae-to-fuel idea.

Personalities & organizations mentioned: Adel Sarofim, a U. researcher who is part of the Clean Coal Center; JoAnn Lighty, a U. researcher who oversees several research groups, including the Clean Coal Center; Jost Wendt, who is part of the U.'s Institute for Combustion and Energy Studies; Aneth oil field on the Navajo Reservation in southeastern Utah; Byard Wood;

Algae-Based Fuels Set to Bloom - Oil from microorganisms could help ease the nation's energy woes

By Kevin Bullis, From Technology Review, Jan 2007

Excerpts:

1. Raw algae can be processed to make biocrude, the renewable equivalent of petroleum, and refined to make gasoline, diesel, jet fuel, and chemical feedstocks for plastics and drugs. Indeed, it can be processed at existing oil refineries to make just about anything that can be made from crude oil.

2. Alternatively, strains of algae that produce more carbohydrates and less oil can be processed and fermented to make ethanol, with leftover proteins used for animal feed. This is one of the potential uses of algae produced by startup GreenFuel Technologies Corporation, based in Cambridge, MA.

3. Biotech advances such as new genomic and proteomic technologies make it much easier to understand the mechanisms involved in algae-oil production. One of the challenges researchers have faced is that while some types of algae can produce large amounts of oil, they only do this when they're starved for nutrients. Researchers hope to understand the molecular switches that cause increased oil production, with the added hope of triggering it without starving the algae. This could dramatically increase oil production and drive down prices.

5. LiveFuels, which is funding and coordinating research at its own lab and at those at both Sandia and the NREL, hopes to create algal ecosystems that resist invaders of algae ponds & ecosystems by ensuring that all the nutrients are converted to forms the algae can easily use

6. GreenFuel, unlike LiveFuels, is developing closed bioreactors.

7. The growing interest in regulating carbon-dioxide emissions could also be a boon to algal fuels.

8. In his State of the Union address, President Bush set an ambitious goal of replacing 20 percent of gasoline consumption in the United States by 2017, largely by producing 35 billion gallons of renewable fuels. One alternative to food sources is cellulosic materials such as wood chips, grass, and cornstalks, which are more abundant than corn grain. But these require special processing methods, and although some of these techniques have been demonstrated at small plants, they have yet to be proved commercially.

Companies & personalities mentioned: Solix Biofuels, based in Fort Collins, CO, and LiveFuels, based in Menlo Park, CA; Kathe Andrews-Cramer, the technical lead researcher for biofuels and bioenergy programs at Sandia National Laboratories, in Albuquerque, NM; Eric Jarvis, an NREL scientist; , says David Kingsbury, the chair of the company's scientific advisory board; Lissa Morgenthaler Jones, LiveFuels's CEO

Save the Planet with Algae Project

Interactive installation at Burning Man aka Greening Man 2007.

Biofuels are all over the news these days as a non-toxic way to eliminate greenhouse gases and our dependency on petroleum. But, to grow enough fuel for the U.S. using land crops (soybeans, switchgrass, “waste” cellulose, etc.) would require more than the entire area of the country and cause massive ecological damage. How can we grow all the fuel we need without injuring our precious cropland, topsoil, and water supplies?

Microalgae produce prodigious amounts of biodiesel fuel and can be grown in salt water. This means it can be farmed in oceans, inland salt water lakes or non-productive land area (such as the playa!), reserving our fertile land and fresh water for ecosystems and growing food. Algae are also many times more productive per acre than any other biofuel technology. For example, a one-acre algae pond (208 feet x 208 feet) could supply fuel to 10+ ordinary diesel cars year-round. Algae can simultaneously treat wastewater and produce valuable co-products (fertilizer, nutrients, pigments, etc.). Because of the simplicity of making biodiesel from algae oil, DIY-ers, cooperatives, environmentalists, developing countries, and just about anyone can participate in this economical, eco-friendly approach to fuel-self sufficiency.

We are seeking collaborators and like-minded spirits to build and operate an inspirational educational algal biodiesel production facility for the ’07 Burning Man festival and beyond. We will show 40,000+ burners how to grow and harvest fast-growing, clean-smelling algae and make it into fuel! We are building a greenhouse sanctuary to house the algae pool and Zen teahouse where we will serve green algae smoothies in the humid, oxygen-rich atmosphere generated by the algae. Evaporated water will be returned to the pond, minimizing water loss. Adjacent will also be the biodiesel oil “washing” system, and an area for educational exhibits. The minimal energy required for the algae growth and processing will be supplied by solar cells and solar heaters. In the current conception, the algae pond will be approximately 6 inches deep and circle around a central lounge zone. Air-plants and algae-inspired art will also hang in the space, creating a healthful, contemplative atmosphere.

If you are interested and would like to help out, please mail us or come to our upcoming organizational meetings on the development of this playa installation. Enthusiastic algae farmers, educators, engineers, designers and builders are most welcome! To learn more and/or become a contributor to this project, please contact Dr Friendly by emailing
