I had an interesting thought from one of our newsletter readers on harvesting: "Could a belt filter press be used to filter large amounts of algae like the the units that are used in waste water treatment plants? A small amount of polymer may be needed to coagulate the slurry." Hmmm..a combo... - 2 years ago
Nice and detailed article on macroalgae based biofuels. OK, we have covered this much earlier at Oilgae, and we even have a special report made, but this is a useful article too - Link - 2 years ago

I did a bit of digging on sugarcane yields...appears that estimates vary from 30 T / acre per year to 100 T per acre per year. That would be 75 T - 250 T per hectare per year. That's an enormous amount of biomass, actually more that what algae gives today! - 3 years ago
