Natalia's Notes

• The US Navy will use only "third generation" biofuels. That means no ethanol made from corn . The Navy is only testing fuels like camelina and algae that do not compete with food, that have a carbon footprint cleaner than fossil fuels and that can be grown cheaper than fossil fuels. - 2 years ago

• The head of the 170-member Algal Biomass Organization (ABO), Mary Rosenthal, predicts the algal oil could be cost competitive with oil in 7 years. %u201CWe%u2019re hoping to be to be at parity with petroleum in the year 2017/ 18, - we will be at several billions of gallons,%u201D Rosenthal told. - 2 years ago
• Rosenthal, is quick to dismiss any suggestion that the algae to oil technology may not be poised for prime time. The technology is mature, she said. We re going through the issues of any emerging industry. where you %u2018re going from lab to pilot, from pilot to scale. - 2 years ago
• The Department of Energy says algae grown on a 15,000-square-mile area, about the size of Maryland, could theoretically meet the nation's oil needs. - 2 years ago
