Algae Biodiesel




Dr Tom Beer from the Australian Commonwealth Scientific and Industrial Research Organisation (CSIRO) conducted a life-cycle analysis of algae biodiesel and has established that it’s possible to produce algae biodiesel at a lower cost and with less greenhouse gas emissions than diesel produced from fossil oils.

In a podcast, Dr Beer talks about how algae can be turned into diesel fuel, and describes what is required to grow and refine algae into viable fuel source.



Algae Biodiesel
One of the issues is that there are not too many books on the topic. To get all the info you have to collect a dozen different books, from a dozen different and competing fields, some highly technical, and wade hip-deep into the land of the techno-jargon. Micro-biology, cell cultivation techniques, petro-chemical engineering...



Making Algae Biodiesel at Home is the quickest and easiest way to learn about this fascinating subject.  Inside this comprehensive work you'll get over 280 pages of "down and dirty" info, plus another 450 pages of collected information from across the globe... over 730 pages of gold-mine info.  This book is one of the most authoritative publications on this topic. 

Absolutely everything anyone interested would need. Such as...

  • A visual overview of the entire process
  • Clear-cut instructions
  • Photographs 
  • Diagrams
  • Cultivating algae
  • Different algal strains
  • Where to buy algal strains
  • Building algae fresh/salt water aquariums
  • Building algae green houses
  • Building Open pond systems
  • Building photo-bioreactors
  • Harvesting the algae
  • Algal oil extraction
  • Building a Homemade Oil Press
  • Mass production of algae
  • Algae biodiesel patents 

That is just the tip of the algae-iceberg this e-book covers. The 650 page eBook is divided up into 7 comprehensive books:


Book I: Cultivating Algae: 

  • Why cultivate algae for biodiesel. (The answers here might surprise you.)

  • How (or if) to choose an algal strain in your local environment
  • Where to buy algal strains
  • Algae growth environments
  • Nutrients to promote growth and reproduction
  • Algal Culture Techniques
  • Growth dynamics: Knowing when to harvest
  • Build an algae test bioreactor
  • Build an algae incubator for less than $35
  • Sources of contamination


Book II: Scaling Up: Building a Fresh/Salt Water Aquarium

Hi David

Your Making Algae Biodiesel at Home is a terrific document. Congratulations on probably the best collection of information anywhere on the topic. I’m going to be completely honest. I’m a guy who is looking to develop algae commercially, partly because this is so complicated and partly because we need to get off petroleum no matter how we do it. Moreover, if we can integrate this with waste water treatment and powerplants we can make a big dent in cleaning up those guys. I am partnered with some excellent scientific resources in the Woods Hole Oceanographic Institute and the Marine Biological Laboratory. I’d like to share your work with my contacts there to get them up the learning curve. Do you have a rate for academia and non-profits and a way that they could use and circulate internally without violating your copyright?

 In addition to all the above there are these bonuses included in the manual:

  • Bonus #1: 4 complete commercial Algae photo-bioreactor patents. These are complete commercial patents of tomorrow's algae biodiesel photo-bioreactors. After you read these, you'll know what the big minds, and big dollars are thinking, and doing.
  • Bonus #2: A Master's Thesis from one of America's top algae biodiesel minds today.  He explores current and past models of production, and goes on the explain a vastly superior model based on his own work. 
  • Bonus #3: The US Department of Energy Aquatic Species Program: Biodiesel from Algae. This is where it all started. This 318 page report in exhaustive in it's detail of algae to biodiesel processes using race-way or open pond designs. A MUST-HAVE resouce!
