How is algae turned into a usable fuel?

Posted in Green Q&A | 5 comments

After researching alternative fuels, algae seems to have high potential. It seems the best way is to use an expeller press, but whats is the "oil" that comes from pressing algae… Vegetable oil? How can the extracted oil then be used to make a fuel that can run in a car?

Do people understand that alternative fuel sources aren't so impractical?

To name a few:

Algae

Tidal/Wave

Wind

Solar

Geothermal

All these be more practical than Fossil Fuels and all could be adopted today if the Oil Companies would allow them.

Ive read articles about algae grown on farms and the oil they get from it. Will it ever be practical? I would love to see the oil cartel go bust.

I just read an article about GM algae and how lifefuel is working to make this "wild card" technology a reality.
