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.
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.
