Biodiesel fuels seems to be one of the future, mainly due to abundance of raw natural resources that can be produced. In this context we are not surprised that biodiesel can produce new and seaweed.
The biggest advantage is that algae can get 30 times more biodiesel per hactar than from corn or soybeans. Coupled with the fact that algae grow in salt water (the most abundant substance on Earth) begin to understand why marine algae may become an alternative to oil.
Biodiesel made from algae requires a manufacturing process with low CO2 emissions, use renewable resources and is easily compatible with existing engines and distribution infrastructure.
The only downside is that the algae have grown in confined areas to reduce the risk of Bacteriological contamination caused by the sun. This translates into the need for larger spaces, additional equipment and careful supervision.
Until the present moment there are already several companies who researches biodiesel made from seaweed, one of them, Solazyme, already proving viability of the idea with a prototype C320 Mercedes fueled with biodiesel from algae.
