AlgaeFuel Principle Initiation of Energy Derived from Algal Biomass
Imagine a sustainable feedstock to fulfilling the current U.S. diesel demand of 60+ billion gal/yr. While the entire U.S. soybean crop can only provide ~6% of current U.S. diesel demand micro algae have an oil yield several orders of magnitude greater than conventional oilseed crops with only a fraction of the  land requirements.
Oil crops like soy, canola, and palm require arable land, water, even petrol chemical biased fertilizers putting an enormous stress on our biosphere making it an unsustainable means to produce biofuels for the future. In working with natures natural systems we can maximize a means of economically producing algal oil for a cleaner burning domestically produced alternative to petroleum. Using proven technologies AlgaeFuel and its team of researchers are continuing to develop algal harvesting, extraction and cultivation techniques to provide technically effective and economically viable solutions for the developing biofuel industry.
Our process is based on proven technology for the treatment of municipal, industrial and agricultural wastewater. The technology is derived from Advanced Integrated Pond Systems (AIPS) a low cost wastewater treatment process.
