BioDieselNow - Renewable biodiesel fuel

I received my replacement sample of botryococcus braun ii from UTEX yesterday. I arrived in a 15 ml tube and was a brilliant green color, with some cells floating at the top.I made my soil water medium (1/5 lb organic potting soil: 1 gal distilled water), boiled, strained, boiled again, strained two...

Dear friends & industry colleagues, Growdiesel Climate Care Council is pleased to invite you to the inaugural International Summit on Algae Biofuels to be held on 18th & 19th September 2008 at New Delhi, India. The conference is focused on next generation of Biofuels using Algae as main feedstock...

[quote user="bjp6"] I have several questions about Bb, first, does it have to grow on the surface?. [/quote] No, it doesn't, but any Bb with a significant oil content will float. [quote user="bjp6"] In otherwords can it grow if constantly submersed. second, I know it can survive...

Not that I wish to see anyone lose a source of funds but the "Desert" people you refer to may have contributed to their demise in their production quotas. It seems from reading this blog there are more than enough technically proficient people (with time on their hands) to share ideas and be...

Hi Folks! Meggio from the Chlorophyll Collective here. I'd like to say thanks to Chris for helping promote our projects this year! Rock on! Anyway, I just dropped in to give you some new information for the CHLOROPHYLL COLLECTIVE. Our new website is up! Here is the url: http:www.chlorophyllcollective...

liberty1: There are sizable producers of algae products. While they have high value products and can withstand higher costs than we can, we can learn a few things from them. They do not try to build 400 H (almost 1000 acre) ponds. I believe the largest anyone has done are 5 acres (2 + H). Just as an...

peterson2: And as for the verdict on Solix, I think it’s too early to tell. The only verdict that is really in already is the fact that the penny stock algae biofuel companies are frauds. There was a recent story on Solix in Popular Science you can read here: http://www.popsci.com/popsci/science/ee6d4d4329703110vgnvcm1000004eecbccdrcrd...

Just joined this forum... already learning tons... I am trying to put together a small algae-to-biodiesel demo project in Vancouver, Canada. This is very much in the planning stage, and I'm scoping out various technologies and techniques... One major challenge is temperature control (without significant...

I would like to open a thread to discuss algal biomass yield. I realize that the bulk of research is focused on constant production of high lipid content algae for the efficient production of biodiesel. I believe this to be a wonderful goal that could eventually provide excellent benifits to the world...

This is going to be built in the spring. A PBR (Photo-Bio-Reactor, not Pabst Blue Ribbon) will be constantly grow Botryococcus braunii, Some will be kept in a development tank but the majority will be released into a raceway pond system. The pond system will be about 6 feet deep, and not all that turbulent...
