- I think there needs to be online interaction. If you post a question or say something some should be able to answer or comment on it by Gardenfuel1 - 2 weeks ago
- Some one speek to me am hungry for your knowledge, advice and or comments. One reseacher I met said that the energy expended in producing a litre of algal fuel is not worth the expense incured! That one would rather use fossil fuel!!!!!!!!!!!! by Gardenfuel1 - 3 weeks ago
- Am glad finally am in the think tank that would add value to me. Am really into bio fuels especially biodiesel but the feed stock to this industry is a real challenge and when I came across the algal idea I reluxed not knowing that what lay ahead was a very big challenge! by Gardenfuel1 - 4 weeks ago
