Renewed World Energies applies time-tested engineering strategies to the design of its cutting-edge algae bioreactor.
Among the general public, interest in alternative fuels tends to rise and fall with each tick in the price of traditional gasoline. However, the growing importance of energy security and environmental protection means that alternative fuels are here to stay. The real question nowadays is which types of alternative fuels will have the greatest staying power.
On that score, biofuels derived from algae have a lot going for them. Algae are inherently renewable, require little energy to produce compared with other bio feedstocks, and do not take agricultural land out of food production. When grown under the proper conditions, algae can produce large quantities of oil that can be harvested and then converted into a variety of biofuels, including green diesel and a even a bio-based jet fuel.
