Biofuel from Algae Market Potential Report Provides In-Depth Guide to the Role of Algae as an Alternative Fuel
Phoenix, AZ – December 29, 2008 – "Biofuel from Algae Market Potential" is a new report published by Energy Business Reports, a leading energy-industry publisher. The report explores how Algae may be used as a quickly-renewable fuel alternative.
Algae are the fastest-growing plants in the world. Algae-based technologies could provide a key tool for reducing greenhouse gas emissions from coal-fired power plants and other carbon intensive industrial processes. But if it were easy to extract the fuel, most of the world's biodiesel would already be made from microalgae grown on non-agricultural land, close to coal-fired power plants.
Driven by escalating global climate change concerns and the rising cost of petroleum-based energy, companies are now starting to examine using certain forms of algae to reduce carbon emissions from power plants, generate renewable transportation fuels, and produce feed for fish and livestock.
Using an intricate photosynthetic process, trendsetters have developed biodiesel and ethanol from algae which can double its volume overnight. Up to 50 percent of an algae's body weight is comprised of oil, whereas oil-palm trees—currently the largest producer of oil to make biofuels—yield just about 20 percent of their weight in oil.
This report explores the potential of algae to be used as a fuel in the future. It examines the technology behind the research, the profiles of major players, and the entire industry.
Topics covered in this report include: Biological Hydrogen Production from Algae, Algal Oil Production for Biodiesel, CO2 Sequestration Algae Culture Ponds, and Producing Jet Fuel from Algal Lipids.
