Algae: The Biofuel Revolution
"The sustainable energy age has begun. It was recently announced that a company in Florida called Green Flight International (GFI) has plans to construct a $100-million, algae biofuel plant aimed at making fuel for the aviation industry as well as for ground-based transportation
GFI has also completed the world's first jet-aircraft flight powered by 100% biofuel. GFI president and CEO Douglas Rodante says that "algae-based biofuel would be able to replace petroleum without alterations to engines or infrastructure, and could be used for all sorts of transportation."
The potential of algae biofuel for both vehicles and air travel is so promising that it will play a large role in helping America finally become energy independent. Biofuel from algae completely eliminates the food vs. fuel concerns of other biofuels, and CO2 will be significantly reduced. Algae are the fastest growing plants in the world, and that fact translates into 20,000 gallons of biofuel per acre! Soybean, corn, switchgrass and other biofuels cannot even compete......."

Re: Algae: The Biofuel Revolution
Sun, November 30, 2008 - 4:19 PMI don't think being a transportation/mobility society is our biggest problem...
I think America can be energy independent with algae biofuel, the Pickens Plan - which includes natural gas/solar and wind,, hybrids and all electric vehicles and whatever else we have available. It will at least get America off of foreign oil from countries like Saudi Arabia.

Re: Algae: The Biofuel Revolution
Mon, December 15, 2008 - 7:02 AMI was talking to a friend about how easy it would be in rural or country areas or small cities/ towns to build their own algae plants the right size for their city - if the algae plant was out back of an algae biofuel station for example - it would eliminate the costs of shipping & distribution - cut down on semi's on the roads.

Sat, February 7, 2009 - 6:30 PMAir Force One converted to Algae biofuel
Put your request in to President Obama to convert Air Force One Jets over to operate on algae biofuel. Anything that runs on diesel can easily be converted to run on algae based biofuels - even military equipment - all without food vs. fuel concerns.
Mr. President, concerning "real" energy policy for the US & the recent news of a new algae biofuel plant in Florida for jet-aircraft, would you please consider converting Air Force One over to run on algae biofuel? "GFI president and CEO Douglas Rodante says that "algae-based biofuel would be able to replace petroleum without alterations to engines or infrastructure..."

Tue, February 10, 2009 - 6:36 AMThis is only the start of what algae can do for us. Look at the many works performed by EM probiotics that utilizes purple non sulfur bacteria a cousin to blue-green algea. EMofCalifornia.com helps to create sustainable lifestyle . -

Tue, February 10, 2009 - 8:32 PMI'm a little leery of this whole endeavor...although it has great merit...I am wondering if they will over harvest this precious resources and cause it to become endangered too? Let's hope not! -

Thu, February 12, 2009 - 4:58 AMGood Point! Luckly the bacteria reproduce with light(sun) and carbon(lots of this) They will be the last ones here. -

Re: Algae: The Biofuel Revolution
Thu, February 12, 2009 - 7:18 AMYeah, algae reproduces fast - there are over 300 different types of strains too. They are using photosynthesis to reproduce more algae in this process too so depleting the resource is a none issue.
