Presentation Transcript

  1. ALGAE FUEL ...and more!

  2. Issue: 1. Energy costs increasing; fossil fuels decreasing. 2. Present pace = catastrophic! Solution: Algae oil! 1. Carbon Neutral 2. High-Yield 3. Hardy Biodiesel Energy: To replace current US petroleum consumption: 1.9 million square kilometers for soy vs. 39000 for algae = 2% as much land!

  3. Roadblocks: 1. High cost for algae 2. Harvesting [Oil Loss, Algae Recovery] 3. Land vs. Water 4. Algal Blooms [Biodiversity] 5. Efficiency Solutions: 1. Us 2. You

  4. Other Ideas Biodigesters Decrease the temperature at which the bacteria die Efficiency -- create more methane Indicator that the fertilizer is clean of pathogens (change color once reach a temperature threshold) Dirt Power Increasing efficiency of bacteria Decreasing reliance on chemicals
