Biofuel From Algae Market Potential

This report – Biofuel from Algae Market Potential – looks at the potential of algae to serve as biodiesel in the future.
 
March 25, 2009 - PRLog -- Phoenix, AZ - A research report published by Energy Business Reports, "Biofuel From Algae Market Potential," analyzes the use of algae in the biodiesel sector. Algae as fuel are a little-known alternative energy source although scientists have been researching their potential for biodiesel for decades.

Algae lack the various structures that characterize land plants, such as phyllids and rhizoids in nonvascular plants, or leaves, roots, and other organs that are found in tracheophytes. They are distinguished from protozoa in that they are photosynthetic. Many are photoautotrophic, although some groups contain members that are mixotrophic, deriving energy both from photosynthesis and uptake of organic carbon either by osmotrophy, myzotrophy, or phagotrophy.

Some unicellular species rely entirely on external energy sources and have limited or no photosynthetic apparatus. As such they are good alternative fuel sources. The biodiesel industry has for some time regarded the study of algae as fuel to be an important one.
This report – Biofuel from Algae Market Potential – looks at the potential of algae to serve as biodiesel in the future. Already much research is underway in to algae as an alternative energy source, and this report profiles the technology behind the research, the profiles of major players, and the biodiesel industry as it relates to algae as fuel.

Other Topics covered in this report include:Biological Hydrogen Production from Algae;Algal Oil Production for Biodiesel; CO2 Sequestration Algae Culture Ponds; andProducing Jet Fuel from Algal Lipids.
