ALGAE ? THE HOLY GRAIL OF BIOFUEL?

So, algae goes down starts under it is take. Gets pick up by pump goes up into the reactors and then gravity it takes control moves it to the reactors they get expose to sunlight go back into and take and the cycles are repeating over and over again.
The problem what surface is that one once the algae’s start growing light only penetrate about an inch in inch in half to the surface. So it blocks life from the rest of then surface.
A two we have a Norma’s mouth of water evaporation so we lose enormous amount of water that we costs they have to replace. And the third is most critical thing to us is that we get contaminates from other algae species that just flow and out the atmosphere landing there and become competitive with the algae that we want to grow.
I know that algae is the fastest organism fastest growing plants on the planet and as the questions the greatest amount of carbon dioxide. But the same time it produces lipids basically vegetables oil and a lot of it.
So, if you look at the single cell of algae on the right species as much as 50% of it is body weight is high grade vegetables oil. So what we are questioning carbon dioxide will also producing these high grade lipids that can be used of a variety purposes.
If I grown on acor of corn and I am looking at from the stand point of producing oil I can grow about 18 galloons of oil per acor per year. So now move up lets go to the next highest or what is the most prevalent is palm. Palm we get 7 to 800 gallons per acor per year algae and go up to 20,000 galloons of oil per acor per year, and that is should not open pounces that is not a close bioreactors system.
We took 110th of that State of New Mexico and converted and algae production we can bit all of the energy to Mans for the entire United States. The beauty of algae’s the fact that we can actually be selective about what carbon chance of coming out of it.
So, for example if you want to make jet fuel we can give you a strange of algae that is going to make it the carbon chase their necessary to manufacture jet fuel much more efficiently than you can any other crap.
If you want to make diesel for a truck we can give you the carbon chase that ideal for that. So, we can tailor the lipids base on the species that algae that will rolling.
