    Algae oil grown in continous photobioreactor.

    The B stands for bio diesel, not ethanol lol there could have been some mis communication over the phone or such but try and get a good location to buy b20, it will do good things for you. Of course from the green aspect the only real way to help is to go b100 but it isnt very cost effective...

    Algae oil grown in continous photobioreactor.

    well those many estimates of anywhere from 1000-15000 are with large ponds and many types of algae. No one has released estimates with algae that can be grown in large tanks, so I'm working on it!!

    andy - no, protip coming from me is from playing video games haha IROC i personally dont have experience in using WVO but my biodiesel guy can talk, and talk, and talk some more.

    I dont have much experience with harvest methods other than filters, it couldnt hurt to try, i know some companies rely on centrifuges to harvest but i think it also depends on the algae type killing the algae wont matter because your processing will kill it, just be nice to it during the...

    plus the fact that bio diesel lubricates a diesel engine soooo much better than any petrol diesel at the pump then those greenies can claim their car is finally clean after it becomes powered by a clean grid (cleaner at least)

    Algae oil grown in continous photobioreactor.

    well the big idea with that starting with why is everything so **** expensive? well it costs a whole lot to transport all the goods we need, so why not bring those costs down! the other one is to build a power plant, 100% of the exhaust is funneled in to algae growing tanks after being cooled...

    Algae oil grown in continous photobioreactor.

    Ethanol is ****, veggy oil is barely energy positive. After idk how many years they still arent sure that ethanol isnt upside down in energy (meaning it takes more to make it than it will release) this 10 gallon an hour thing is for bio diesel in general. The algae I use is similar to veggy...
