Algae Biofuel Summit 2008

Similar to plants, algae converts solar energy, CO2 & water to valuable chemical energy via photosynthesis. This chemical energy is stored in algae as lipid oils and can be converted into biodiesel. The residual algae de-oiled cake is a high protein matter and can be used as animal/ cattle feed, organic fertilizer and nutritional supplements. Algae Farming Technologies could allow companies to capture and recycle emitted CO2 from flue gases and even earn a profit from being “green”. Companies, having issues with environmental control, can surely benefit from such technologies.
