Algae for Alternative Feedstock for Biofuels

Algae is the talk of the alternative feedstocks for biofuels. With high, year-round growth; no competition with food crops; a renewable resource; the promise of independent energy and environmental remediation of carbon dioxide and excess nutrients, it seems like a no brainer. So what's the problem? Research is just now focusing on how to make this happen in controled conditions, on an industrial scale and in a cost effective manner. Many initiatives worldwide are taking place and very little sharing of information. Alganomics, LLC is a new company that is seeking to apply new technology to this initiative and create a community-based, grassroots effort to make algae a viable alternative feedstock for biofuel. AlgaeLink of the Netherlands and Spain is a company that has been the first to produce closed systems, photobioreactors, for culturing algae on an industrial scale. Alganomics has become an exclusive distributor for AlgaeLink Systems and is in process of applying a system to a wastewater treatment facility at Oak Island, North Carolina.
