Venture capitalists explore replacing crude oil with algae<\/strong><\/p>\n

By Clifford Krauss @ IHBT, March 6, 2007<\/p>\n

Excerpts:<\/p>\n

1. The idea of replacing crude oil with algae may seem odd, but not for people like Lissa Morgenthaler-Jones and her husband, David Jones, who are betting their careers and personal fortunes on the prospect of producing biofuel from algae.<\/p>\n

2. It will require investment, luck and tweaking of biotechnology to succeed.<\/p>\n

3. One goal is to find an energy-efficient way to convert algae into fuel. Farmed catfish could provide a useful source of carbon dioxide for the algae as well as a critical revenue flow to keep research going.<\/p>\n

4. Venture capital firms and hedge funds are financing the construction of plants to produce biodiesel fuel out of vegetable oil, wind turbines and solar cells.<\/p>\n

5. The road to algae has been a long one for the couple, and this project is a culmination of more than two years of reading and research.<\/p>\n

6. After researching many other forms of alternative energy such as wind, hydrogen fuel cells, wave energy etc., they have decided to put their bets on algae<\/p>\n

About Oilgae – Oilgae – Oil & Biodiesel from Algae<\/a><\/b> has a focus on biodiesel production from algae while also discussing alternative energy in general. Algae present an exciting possibility as a feedstock for biodiesel, and when you realise that oil was originally formed from algae – among other related plants – you think “Hey! Why not oil again from algae!”<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
