Algae Biodiesel

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.

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...

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
• The best algal strains for biodiesel
  
• 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 830 page eBook is divided up into 7 comprehensive books:

• 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

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:

FREE Bonus #2: The Online Resource List: This "Quick Guide" shows you where to go online to buy every part/resource necessary for building PBR's. (Including every place overseas you can buy algal cultures!) Especially useful for overseas buyers and/or people living in places where they don't have access to resources we have in the USA. Cost: PRICELESS time saver if you're living overseas and have to shop by internet or deal with customs/importing issues.

FREE Bonus #3: 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.

FREE Bonus #4: 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 to explain a vastly superior model based on his own work. The future of algae biodiesel could very well be here.

FREE Bonus #5: The US Department of Energy Aquatic Species Program: Biodiesel from Algae. This is where it all started. This 318 page report in exhaustive in its detail of algae to biodiesel processes using race-way or open pond designs. A MUST-HAVE resource for anyone interested in algae biodiesel.

Free Bonus #6: A 57 page report by Ron Putt of Auburn University where he outlines a feasible plan for Alabama to create 3 billion gallons of fuel to supply ALL of Alabama's ground transportation needs. This is one of the most comprehensive plans I've ever found. I think this report is ground breaking and I'm proud to be able to present it here. New Material!

Together these 6 free bonuses are worth more than triple your investment of only $97.99 -- but they're all yours absolutely free. This is, without a doubt, the most complete algae biodiesel collection available ANYWHERE!

30 Day, No Risk, Unconditional, 100% Money Back Guarantee
