Basics
- This page aims to cover the various ways Algae can be converted into Usable Fuel
- Various technologies/levels of complexity will be covered
- Some Technologies may not Scale well
Higher Complexity
Transesterification Biodiesel
- This is one of the most known/commercially available processes
- Main issue is it needs Algae Concentration/Drying, then Plant Oil extraction
- Also the Transesterification process uses Methanol so you need fuel to make fuel etc
- That and Solvent Extraction of the Oil is used in some processes
- A Crude system using
- An Open Source Expeller Press
- Large Raceway Pond Algae Farming and a Cheesecloth Bag/Screen Printing + Airlift Pump Semi-Continous Algae Harvesting System + Basic Sun Drying
