ALGAE TO FUEL METHODS, Presented by David James

May 21, 2008: David James explains how to process algae, into three different types of green fuels, using a gasification process. Green gasoline, green diesel and biodiesel can all be produced from...

How much does it cost to make a gallon of "green gasoline," and can it be used in current engines?

Did any body here of the Mcgyan process. That should explain more and just how quick and give an idea has how its done.

I do know for a fact this works Not sure how it has to do with Hydrocracking. A process in witch Hydrogen or H-bonds are pressurized into a chamber with heated oil. some where between 140- 200 psi and with in heat range of 170+. Colorado Biofuels here in Colorado Is working with it currently. It seems to be a trade secret not even the National Biodiesel Board will give me more that what I just told you.

You get directed to another site which tries to sell you a web class to learn how to "Do this". Do I hear another scam ringing in my ears??

I went to the site and could not find any Algae class. I was disappointed. What are you talking about?

Of course, those questions need to be answered. Algae IN THEORY has the greatest potential as a biofuel, but there are many pitfalls they need to overcome. The energy input can easily be greater than the output in a small lab setting, but in a large scale operation there may be ways to recycle certain parts of the energy (e.g. heat, via heat exchangers, etc.) and thus achieve a net energy surplus. The devil's in the details though.

Actually, the input:output ratio for algae (aka the "Energy Return Ratio") as a fuel is nearly 2:1, so it's very viable. That beats out just about all the other worthless solutions we've got going on, like gov-funded "ethanol," which is a total joke.

Heh... You'd think with a huge ground breaking invention like this, they could afford something better than a flowchart on poster board, demonstrated by a nincompoop.

He said nothing, just repeated himself.
Gasification over a catalyst..........
BUT how much does is cost to produce?
Do you use more enegergy to make it
then it creates?
Is it scalable? Or is it snake oil.
