What if you put together two different strains of algae in order to make the two different things you need for diesel?
Here's what I was looking for, a way to grow algal oil. Summarizing the video: Juergen Polle, Brooklyn College, is researching algal oil as a drop-in replacement for current fuels. Paul Falkowski at Rutgers Energy Institute, is also researching algae. Sapphire Energy, in San Diego, seems to have a process developed to make the algal oil. Falkowski says all algae needs is money.
If you were to combine that with the other strain to make methanol--- which strain would be spirulina --- that would comprise the two major components for biosdiesel.
Everybody, it seems, wants to go big, but what if you just had a lot of urban homesteaders who made a little for themselves and their neighbors?
