Algae Photobioreactor at Hazelwood coal powerplant
i just managed to catch the end of this segment on Lateline Business.
Preceeding this footage was a guy from Alternative Technology Association saying he was “happy with the use of biofuels, as long as the emissions from producing those fuels are less than the emissions from their use”. Sage advice.
Algae oil or Algae biodiesel is such a fuel.
This is footage of an Energetix trial algae plant in Victoria Australia, being fed some of the emissions from Hazelwood coal power plant. Hazelwood is currently Australia’s worst polluting power plant - but that might soon change.
Energetixs (a biodiesel company owned by the Victor Smorgon Group) now has the exclusive Australian license to the algae growing process owned by Greenfuels(tm).

if algae loves co2 we should hook up human sewrage to algae production because algae loves nitrates just as much. but i am against using it as bio fuel because as soon as you burn it, it will release the co2 back into the atmosphere.
Two years? Maybe less.
The one thing the algae LOVES is CO2.
Algae needs a little sunlight, but treats the CO2 in flue gas like candy.
And yesterday, there was an announcement that a form of fungi had been found that eats wood and makes diesel !
A little genetic manipulation, and our energy problems are on the way out.
In fact, this algae oil is supposed to be delicious. And as healthy for you as olive oil.
lets just get it done,no lets occupy iraq,i mean now what s the reason??????????? no oil,no wmd no 911 /were just there and everyone sitting around,thought they send out men as sacrifices so we stay and say there is still a problem cmon bush,read this and do something,they marched in now march out and yo go chill on ur ranch for the rest of your evil life.
th eamerican lady says 4 years,the world govs will say 10 years.Get ready for lies.
18 gallons of biofuel per acre per year using corn, 800 using palm, 20,000 using algae. 100 acre pond using sewage as feedstock for the algae yields 2 million gallons of fuel per year worth millions.
please stop GLOBAL WHINNING!
Its delicious! I am eating some right now!
Why are you so obsessed with alage?
Very informative! Thanks.
also scrubs our atmosphere of greenhouse gases in the process!
youre ahead of most with the algae.thanks for posting!80TIMES more fuel than canola crops!
