Reasons for algal biofuel
Reasons for algal biofuel
■ high per-acre productivity,
■ non-food based feedstock,
■ use of non-productive land,
■ use of fresh, brackish, saline,
marine, produced, and waste
water,
■ both biofuels and co-products,
■ recycling of CO2 and nutrient
waste streams
Roadmap suggestions
many years of basic/ applied
science/ engineering needed to
achieve
■ affordable,
■ scalable, and
■ sustainable algal-based fuels.
Quickly implement innovative
technologies in an integrated
process
Slide 13
The DOE Aquatic Species Program (1978 to 1996) illustrated the potential
of algae. Rising petroleum prices and the RFS Standards have renewed
interest in developing algal biofuels

Findings
■ Algae have potential as a feedstock for biofuels.
■ Productivity can be higher than for terrestrial crops.
■ Algae can be cultivated at sea or on non-arable land, so
there is no competition with current food production.
■ These reasons justify attention to algal biofuels from
researchers, industries and (governmental) policy
makers.
