SINGAPORE — Pahang State in central Malaysia is about to become home to the world’s largest commercial farm project producing microalgae for biofuel….When completed, the farm could produce about 500,000 tons of dry biomass a year, with an oil yield of about 30 percent, equivalent to 150,000 tons of biofuel per year,…
Well, it's a start. This appears to be an attempt to produce an algae for its oil. As written earlier today, I have a different idea.
Another story here. A quote from that story:
Everyone in the world that matters is talking about algae—many for energy and biofuel, and some for chemical resources. As the world shies away from chemicals, more and more companies are looking into algae as the source for many products.
Quite a sweeping statement.
Anyway, it may well be worth studying that development.
Update:
One more story before I quit on this post.
Was the BP disaster created in order to turn the Gulf into an algae farm?
I linked to this story because of the notion that the Gulf of Mexico could be used this way.
