Originally a prototype of the Dutch company Lagerwey was tested there, however, it failed to meet the expectations and was demolished in 2002. Since October 2004 an Enercon E-40 produces electricity there.<\/p>\n<p><b><a href=\"http:\/\/www.oilgae.com\/\">Oilgae &#8211; Oil &amp; Biodiesel from Algae<\/a><\/b><br \/><b><a href=\"http:\/\/www.oilgae.com\/blog\/\">Oilgae Blog<\/a><\/b><br \/><b><a href=\"http:\/\/www.oilgae.com\/algae\/oil\/biod\/research\/os\/algos.html\">algOS &#8211; Biodiesel from Algae Open Source<\/a><\/b><\/p>\n<p><b><a href=\"http:\/\/www.oilgae.com\/\">Oilgae &#8211; Oil &amp; Biodiesel from Algae<\/a><\/b> provides links, directory, web links resources for algae-based biofuels &amp; biodiesel.
