What is "Algae" that replaces algae growing easily with carbon dioxide, sunlight, and water by substitute gasoline and nutrients to solve global warming problems at once?

Greenhouse gases such as carbon dioxide are emitted by machines that use fossil fuel as an energy source such as gasoline-powered cars, global warming progresses, causing problems such as climate change. At the same time there is also the cause of global warming that the amount of carbon dioxide consumption decreases by cutting the forest for food production. An attempt to stop alarming the global warming by resolving the above problems at once by raising algae that can be produced with sunlight, carbon dioxide and water, and substituting it for alternative gasoline and protein sourcesGlobal Algae InnovationsIt is ongoing and is aiming for practical application by utilizing the test farms made in Hawaii in the United States for research.

How Algae Could Change The Fossil Fuel Industry - YouTube


This is a new material "Algae" made from algae produced by Global Algae Innovations.


It will be in powder form if dried, but it can also be in oil form.


And this oil can be converted to diesel fuel or jet fuel by refining.


"The fuel made from the algae we are making is in no way inferior to the fuel and gasoline and diesel so far," said Dave Haslebeck of Global Algae Innovations.


Based in San Diego, Brazil, Global Algae Innovations creates a huge experimental plantation in Hawaii.


Global Algae Innovations is trying to change the shape of the food and petroleum industry.


Algae greatly improves the global warming problem facing the world by reducing the animal's feed by several percent ... ...


Furthermore, it improves the problem that agriculture is contaminating water.


However, in the case of Algae, since water is circulated, there is no risk that the discharged fertilizer seeps out and it is possible to make effective use of everything.


The main cause of deforestation is food production.


Algae has 40 times higher productivity than general food.


Producing Algae with 1000 acres (about 400 hectares) of land eliminates the need to plant 40,000 acres (about 16,000 hectares) of plants.


The food problem is also important, but the problem of global warming caused by fossil fuels such as gasoline is also serious.


Algae isRenewable energySo, even if it is used as fuel, it will not increase carbon dioxide.


Algae is economically superior as a means to provide high quality protein and solve the fuel problem ......


Even if it solves the problem of poverty and raises the quality of life, it can be expected to create a new job and profit.


This usefulness is the reason why Hazlebeck made the initial investment. The faster the practical application is made, the greater the result will be.


Global Algae Innovations is experimentally managing pond-type farms to make Algae on 2 acre (about 80 ares) land in Hawaii. The size is thought to be easily expandable to 200 acres (about 80 hectares).


And a major feature of the Algae manufacturing farm is that there is a thermal power plant next to the farm.


Carbon dioxide generated at the thermal power plant passes through a pipe ......


It will be introduced to Algae's pond. In the production of Algae, carbon dioxide generated at a thermal power plant can be effectively utilized.


Hazlebeck believes that if all the thermal power stations have Algae farms, it will have a great effect on global warming countermeasures.


The mechanism by which Algae grows is extremely simple.


Algae can be raised anywhere.


Even if it is not clean water or sea water ......


Even muddy sewage can be raised.


In addition to water, we need enough carbon dioxide and sunlight.


"The reason why Algae which is obviously beneficial is not put into practical use is high cost of production," Haslebeck says. According to Hazlebeck, it is necessary to lower the cost ten times for practical use.


Therefore, research to reduce costs is essential.


Hoping for breakthrough, research is continuing day by day.


Algae oil was 30 dollars (about 3100 yen) per gallon (about 3.8 liters) at the beginning of the research ... ...


With several years of technological innovation, we have been able to reduce costs by a couple of dollars (about 200 yen to 310 yen). Hiszlebecu says that by scaling up Algae the practical application is coming to just a few more years.


A major cause of war is resource issues. Hazlebegg believes that wars should decrease if countries can produce energy cleanly and easily.


Algae is expected to replace existing fuel. Therefore, there is a big merit that infrastructure maintenance is unnecessary because it can be used as it is without changing the already existing machine.


It is also possible to divert the gas station as it is.


While recognizing that "I am working to change the world," Global Algae Innovations is developing Algae.


Practical application of Algae is required in that it has the possibility to solve two very important problems such as food problem and energy problem.
