Algae Product Basket - Biodiesel, Ethanol, Methane & Hydrogen


 
 
 
 

Biodiesel is the most commonly discussed energy output from algae, but it is not the only one. A serious study of the energy domain and of algae points to a wide basket of energy outputs that can be theoretically derived from algae � all the way from gasoline to hydrogen to LPG. The following is the list of fuels that can be obtained from algae.


    * Biodiesel
    * Ethanol
    * Hydrogen
    * Methane
    * Biomass � where algae biomass is directly used for combustion
    * Other hydrocarbon fuel variants, such as JP-8 fuel, gasoline, biobutanol etc.


 In order to derive the various energy products from algae, the Algal Biomass needs to be put through different processes.
