This week, RTL-TVi broadcast an issue of “Tout explicable” devoted to algae and in particular to biofuel microalgae with a practical application at the BFS plant in Alicante. We saw the plant in Alicante with some interesting information in particular the presence of a “secret catalyst” in the growth reactors, small white beads that look a lot like… nitrate… Recovery […]
Algae fuel oil, the new American green gold diggers. By David Lefebvre, 31/12/2007. Photos DR. Algaculture (the field of aquaculture) offers many promises. It would produce electricity, hydrogen, fertilizers, animal feed and liquid fuels. In the United States, dozens of start-ups, created in 2007, are researching and developing the production of fuel oil […]
Biofuel algae: it's not won for France! Report broadcast on the News of France2 of March 23, 2009 showing the difficulties of research on microalgae in France (while the USA already have industrial demonstrators). Find out more: - Algae and biofuel - Trial of growing braunii algae at home - […]

Online posting of an article (by David Lefebvre) about this very promising route on biofuels. Selected pieces: - one hectare of algae could produce 30 to 120 times more oil than one hectare of rapeseed or sunflower. - (The) technique allows, in sunny weather, to recycle up to 82% of CO2 contained in […]
A fuel based on algae oil Olivier Daniélo, Biofutur n ° 255, May 2005, p33-37. Summary: In the context of climate change and the soaring price of a barrel of oil, biofuels are today presented as a sustainable energy alternative. Research is currently taking place on microscopic algae that are particularly rich in oils and of which […]
In the context of climate change and the soaring price of a barrel of oil, biofuels are today presented as a sustainable energy alternative. Research is currently taking place on microscopic algae that are particularly rich in oils and whose yield per hectare is much better than that of sunflower or rapeseed. […]
Intensive cultures of microalgae on pig slurry: performance, constraints, use of biomass. 125-page thesis by Lionel DABBADIE This thesis concerns the depollution of pig manure not microalgae but contains information on the culture of microalgae for other applications, in particular 3rd generation biofuel. See the example of BFS Summary The […]
