Another interesting news on the series of the Navy’s biofuel initiatives! Maersk, one of the largest shipping companies in the world, and the US Navy have come together to test algae biofuel on the container ship Maersk Kalmar. The ship is en route from Northern Europe to India. The biofuels test is the first collaboration [...]
Leaders of the various sectors of biomass industry gathered to discuss the future of algae, biomass thermal, biomass power, biogas, biofuels and biochemicals industries at the International Biomass Conference & Expo. The bottomline of the whole discussion sessions was that federal support has to be pulled up to favor a positive growth of biomass [...]
Cellana LLC, a Hawaii based developer of algae-based biofuels and bioproducts is all set to ramp up commercial scale production of algae biofuels. their commercial scale algae facitlity would be the first of its kind in the U.S With over $100 million investment for developing algal strains and production technology, the company has now [...]
World Health Energy Holdings, Inc., a public holding company operating in the alternative energy sector, is setting up a 250 acre commercial algae biodiesel farm with a $100 million budget in Karnataka, India. The algae farm will produce Fish Feed and Algal Oil. The first phase will be initiated soon in a 2.5 acre system [...]
New Mexico State University is expanding its capacity to accomplish algal biofuel research with the recent installation of a new photobioreactor system from Solix BioSystems. The system promises to accelerate the university’s emergence as a leader in this niche research domain. The New Mexico State University team will cultivate algae with the high-performance AGS4000 PBR [...]
Algae-to-biofuel company BARD Holding Inc. will join hands with Algae Bioenergy Solutions LLC to upstage a new joint venture to develop an algae production facility in Georgia. BARD, will play the technical hand in running the facility with Algae Bioenergy Solutions LLC. The new company will be called BARD-ABS. The venture will use Bard’s proprietary [...]
Though algae has emerged out of nowhere to become the most promising of all biofuel feedstocks, it really hasn’t given the reassurance to the world that it would be the perfect solution to the energy puzzle. To some it might be a bit surprising that the commercial efforts for algal biofuels have been few and [...]
The Japanese nuclear disaster was an ill omen to many but not necessarily for the world of alternative energy. The disaster indeed has re-awoken the world to the possibilities of alternative energy. While natural gas (Liquefied Natural Gas) would receive an immediate boost, it is obvious that the green technologies would also re-emerge as favourites. [...]
As we all know, algae is emerging as a very attractive biofuel feedstock in recent years. However, it is yet to hold the promise of being the sustainable alternative the whole world is in search of. In one of the previous blog posts, I had mentioned that the issue of sustainability has to be handled [...]
Algal Biomass Organization, the trade association for the U.S. algae industry, presented its first annual Algae Industry Leadership Awards to four people in an effort to recognise and honour their critical support in accelerating the industry’s growth, facilitating private investment and reducing major barriers to the commercialization of algae-based biofuels. Brian Bilbray (Representative – CA) [...]
Algae might have emerged as the saving grace for the world of alternative energy. But sustainability – the word that has haunted everything and everyone in the world of alternative energy, hasn’t spared algae biofuels too. A recent research study claims that sustainability is far from reality for algae biofuel production. The study also revealed [...]
What is the potential of algae as a fuel source and carbon sequestration and how do we address scalability issues? What are the latest technologies in cultivation, harvesting and extraction? Join senior executives from leading algaculture, power generators, biorefineries, biofuel producers, oil and gas companies and technology providers in London on 27th & 28th April [...]
Australia seems to be developing fast into a hub of algal biofuels. Algae Biofuels seems to hold the future of Australia, a country that is basically a desert, cut off from the global biomass trade by a tyranny of distance, with a carbon emissions problem. It is moving fast, excitement is high, and there’s a [...]
Researchers at ExxonMobil’s La Jolla greenhouse facility are spending more than $600 million in a partnership with Synthetic Genomics, Inc. in the algae biofuels sector. They believe that biofuels from photosynthetic algae have the following advantages: First, algae can be grown using land and water unsuitable for plant or food production, and algae use photosynthesis, [...]
The US Department of Energy (DOE) is seeking input from industry, academia, and other biofuels stakeholders regarding supply systems and services for the production, handling, storage, transport and delivery of algae via a new Request for Information (RFI) DOE may use the information in support of program planning and may determine to issue a formal [...]
