besides, oil IS millions of years of accumulated algae & other 'biofuel'. how can renewable fuel ever match what civilization is used to from splurging a 'lottery win'
@ranskye1 the growth will make oxygen while using co2, then the burning will release co2 back into the atmosphere. growth and burning it should equal out co2 and make it carbon neutral
@ranskye1 i hear you. though ash is made up of carbon compounds and other locked up minerals, then the carbon compounds in ash would need to be assimilated later and then put back into the air. if we burn oil, but we make some kind of building material from the other material left over after oil extraction rather than use as a feedstock, then we can lock the carbon up. that to me might mean it is better than carbon neutral.
If I were the head of BP, guess what I'd start trying to produce? No more starting wars in other countries for their resources, no more transportation overseas, and you can bet people would love your company and support you.
@Shawneha I already have, so I'm not a hypocrite. Pro-animal rights vegans and anti-overpopulation activists are never hypocritical. Only meat-eaters and breeders who dare make moral and legal judgements against others for far more trivial things than the crime of eating meat and overpopulating.
@Shawneha I already have. But religionists like TheDog9892 and you should have your balls cut off without anesthesia. Meat-eaters should not be allowed to breed. I think putting them into prison for life is fun and funny.
@TheDog9892 And child rapists think having sex with children is fun, and meat-eaters are 1000X worse. Meat-eaters never contributed to society, because they steal more than they have ever producers.
You just want to force YOUR laws down everybody else's throats, but hypocrite anti-animal meat-eaters whine and complain if somebody does the same to them.
@mphello Wow, you bring child rapists in this (i wonder if you are one) Well lets just say all the meat eaters in world died leaving hippies to to the jobs that us meat eaters had to do they would be the ones whining saying "no more vending machines, aw man I needed my 7-up after I just smoked a CRAP load of pot" there would be so much smoke in the air from people smoking pot that you guys would make planet earth WAY WORSE then it already is. And did you know that humans are OMNIVORES!
@TheDog9892 Oh and by the way did you know that there is another planet that is waiting for us? MARS!
mars is the best place because it has 23 hours and 30 minuets in a day, it used (and probably still does have) to have water AND life but Obama bin laden thinks that humans will be just fine in 100 years well let me tell you something, That clock is ticking and if we don't find someplace fast the people on earth just end up killing each other because they can.
@TheDog9892 You obviously hate free speech. And nothing wrong with being a hippy. No different than being a Jew or African American. And, did you know that humans are responsible for their actions, therefore, they can be whatever the fuck they want to be? But shitheads like you who never did a day of hard work in your lives cannot grasp that. Shitheads equate being vegan for animal rights with hippies, even though they have nothing to do with each others, shows ...
@mphello OK shithead You know why i have never done a day of hard work in my life because i'm 12 FREAKIN YEARS OLD! and you know why i tied animal rights to hippies because that's what hippies do is smoke pot and protest for non senescent animals. And you know why i don't like the right for free speech, THE LIBERAL MEDIA they control america by making people think that saying the word black is racist, and that being a catholic is bad and being gay is good. WTF! (you need to think about mars)
@mphello MY ASS! the only conservatives have is FOX, and why do you keep bringing up Jews? I like Jews they are the founder in the belief in our father, god. Mexicans are FUN! and yes I have the mind of a 2 year old
@TheDog9892 What a piece of shit you are. Children have no rights. Why can't they vote? If they had rights, they'd vote and fight in wars. That proves children are worthless and subhuman and have no sentience.
I saw a one presentation where artifical light was used to grow the algae in a sugar based system. It seems algaes 2 day cycle to oil should become cost effective, if the scale of production where increased to the million barrel a day range. How many facilities would be required to receive 1 million barrels of oil?
Does manufacture location matter? Could each state produce biodiesel for algae? Tar Sand oil production could increase to 10% by 2025. Will this increase in oil production have a net affect on biodiesel?
@davepamn Essentially no; you can grow algae anywhere. The problem comes in that the further from the equator you are, the less intense the sunlight. There is some research into using low light adapted algae for these locations, and different states can devote more or less land to production, but I think that there will still be some need for exchange between states.
To answer the title: No. Finnish oil company Neste Oil has a huge facility that grows algae and makes biodiesel from it. The problem is that to replace all use of fossil fuel the total area of growing vats need to be the size of the state of Kentucky.

I suspect that artificial light to grow the algae probably doesn't make sense except nich cases such as in space where you would use a solar array to power LEDs because the radiation would fry the algae and the vacume and cold / heat of space would be too hard to build a suitable "window" for the batches. One exception would be a filtered light pipe system like fiber optics with a filter for UV and other harmful radiation. On earth, Fiber optics can send sunlight deeper into the vats / ponds.
One issue I have with using artificial light is that you are using electricity, which is probably comming from coal. Let the sun provide the light. The algae needs a dark cycle anyways.
People will buy this fuel if they know it would run well and wont damage their engines and 2 is cheaper or competitively priced per gallon with regular gasoline/diesel.
so now we'll have algae fields instead of oil fields, how ugly!
You can make this stuff @ home (very easily), we don't need to invent a new industry. but the big algae producers are intent on destroying as much of the natural landscape as they can by increasing their production to massive scales, their desire for the loot is insatiable I can only imagine. easy money is the reason for worlds problems, see?
why do you see profit as evil. A human can live on pennies a day be poor and never be in a position to help anyone, i see poverty as evil. Be rest assured the government will take 35 percent and give it to poor Americans and poor countries. just like they do to big oil.
My news yesterday, Oklahoma tax from big oil greatest in our history. No state deficits.
There was university east coast that developed a smoke stack gas cleaner. What it is a long clear plastic pipe that you run the exhaust through water and you put a small amount a algae in the tube and the algae grows and fills the pipe. You get clean a lot of the pollutions out of the exhaust. Would it ever supply all the algae you would need? I drought it.

Sorry for the spaces in between each letter, some reason Youtube will not let you give an actual address in a comment. Real weird, have a Blessed Day!
growing it with lights seems strange, can you get more energy off the oil you skim from the top than you need to power the lights? The answer has to be no, without some form of chemical catalyst
But you hit the nail on the head accidentally. This needs lots land for sunlight something many countries and cities do not have. We may also have the situation of people cutting down trees to grow algae...
@Flirmy: actually a catalyst wouldn't help. It's a Second Law problem. Some energy is dissipated in ANY process which does ANY work. Energy out can never equal energy in unless there was stored energy there to begin with which gets released by the process.
@Flirmy Those little glow rods? I'm sure you could produce enough oil to power them all day. Or better yet you could use solar power during the day and a tiny fraction of the oil produced overnight.
@Flirmy i think this is about making fuel for pre existing vehicles...so lets say there using wind power or hydro power to power the lights so they can make algae round the clock...there nothing wrong with that after al they dont make co2....but what your saying is right you never get more energy than you put in...thats true its all about just making as much fuel as possible to make it competitive with petroleum oil...so we can stop fucking the world up
@Flirmy If I know my thermodynamics right, using artificial light would be extremely inefficient. First, energy is degraded generating electricity, then degraded further converting the electricity to light (some becomes heat). Finally there would be a lot of irony if the electricity is generated from a fossil fuel or future algae fuel power plant. The only benefit I could see of using artificail light would be to meet production deadlines in a pinch, or for research purposes.
