The Future of Algae Fuel: A Promising Solution for America's Energy Needs
Algae biofuel technology is essential for improving fuel sources in America. Algae's high lipid content makes it a pure source of biodiesel, with bio-engineered strains now containing up to 80% lipid. Algae fuel production, while promising, is a tedious and expensive process. Despite the challenges, the future of biodiesel from algae looks bright, offering a sustainable alternative to traditional fossil fuels.

OIL ALGAE BY: NAINJOT SINGH
TECHNOLOGY IS NEEDED BECAUSE. AMERICA NEEDS BETTER FORMS OF FUEL.
THE LIPID CONTENT IN ALGAE IS USED AS A PURE SOURCE OF BIO-DIESEL FUEL
BIO-ENGINEERED STRAINS OF ALGAE NOW CONTAIN UP TO 80% LIPID CONTENT
1 GALLON OF OIL ALGAE CONVERTS TO 1 GALLON OF BIO-DIESEL WHILE 7 GALLONS OF CRUDE PETROLEUM CONVERTS TO ONE GALLON DIESEL
ALGAE FUEL PRODUCTION IS A TEDIOUS PROCESS, AND IS EXPENSIVE.
THE FUTURE OF BIODIESEL LOOKS PROMISING! Algae Fuel of the Future
