"At
Last! No More Collecting and Filtering Dirty Waste Oil You Can Make
Algae Biodiesel and Produce Unlimited Energy…"
by
David Sieg
With
the increasing interest in biodiesel as an alternative to
petro-diesel, many have looked at the possibility of growing more
oilseed crops as a solution to the problem of peak oil. There are two
problems with this approach: first, growing more oilseed crops would
displace the food crops grown to feed mankind. Second, traditional
oilseed crops are not the most productive or efficient source of
vegetable oil.
Microalgae
is, by a factor of 8 to 25 for palm oil and a factor of 40
to 120 for rapeseed, the highest potential energy yield temperate
vegetable oil crop. Michael Briggs at the University of N. Hampshire
Biodiesel group estimates that using open outdoor, racetrack ponds,
only 15,000 square miles could produce enough algae to meet all of the
USA's ground transportation
needs.

 “There is no other
resource that comes even close in magnitude
to the
potential for making oil,”... John Sheehan,
energy analyst with the National Renewable Energy
Laboratory (NREL)
“If
we were to replace all of the diesel that we use in the United
States” with an algae derivative,... we could do it on an
area of land that’s about one-half of 1 percent of the
current farm land that we use now.” ...Douglas
Henston Solix CEO
This
newly released work called Making Algae
Biodiesel at Home is the quickest and easiest way to learn
about algae biodiesel. Inside this comprehensive work you'll get over
550 pages of gold-mine
info. Absolutely everything
anyone interested in algae biodiesel would need.

This is an extremely simple design. We’re not talking a lot
of bells and whistles here and it won't cost you a fortune. It will
however, get you going in the right direction. From there,
you’ll need to branch out on your own, dealing with your own
climate, your own strains and the problems associated with growing
them. |

your algae |

|
|
We have chosen a type of algae that accumulates a lot of oil and
satisfies a few requirements. Some of these requirements involve their
habitat. One’s determination of an algal species also has to
do with one’s location, climate, access to organic nutrients
and other factors. The first consideration is salt water, or fresh
water species. For each there are different strains available. |

Algae can be produced using a wide variety of methods, ranging from
closely-controlled laboratory methods to less predictable methods in
outdoor tanks. You will guided through the various systems:
Indoor/Outdoor; Open/Closed; Axenic; Batch, Continuous and
Semi-Continuous, whilst lookign at the advantages and disadvantages of
various algal culture techniques.

The growing systems descibed in the book may be used for the culture of
animal or human edible alage. For example, Spirulina is a
planktonic blue-green alage that is rich in nutrients, such as protein,
amino acids, vitamin B-12 and carotenoids. Human consumption of Spirulina grown in
algae farms amounts to more than one thousand metric tons annually. Why
not grow your own? |

What
you can expect from the book Making Alage
Biodiesel at Home
That
is just the tip of the algae-iceberg this e-book covers. The 550 page
eBook
is divided up into 5 comprehensive sections. This the
ultimate tutorial for making algae biodiesel but until now it was never
available (even if you're a veteran biodiesler you'll benefit immensely
from understanding about algae biodiesel because
this is the cutting-edge
future of biofuels).
