Hope and luck in the future of sustainable biofuels.

You would have thought to solve the problem of fuel with the simple algae?
In Gila Bend, Arizona is going to happen something that could reduce or completely overcome oil imports for several countries. The project sees the mother as Desert Sweet Shrimp, a company specialized in shrimp, which said it would begin producing algae to turn into biodiesel using the same algae they eat the shrimp. Desert Sweet Shrimp was concentrated value of sustainability, raising shrimp in commercial fishing to avoid them is a danger to the ocean. According to the U.S. Department of Energy, biodiesel would have a price of $ 4.81 per gallon but it hopes to produce an amount necessary to reach $ 3 per gallon. Potential production of about 20,000 liters of biodiesel per hectare to 2 years with the possibility of having the first biodiesel from algae within 3-4 months. The seaweed is processed into biodiesel by adding lye, sodium and ethanol as a catalyst to make the fuel more pure. The lye, sodium and ethanol can then be recovered and reused. Desert Sweet Shrimp managed to find the best strain of algae plan to develop other more suitable. The climate in Gila Bend is perfect for the growth of algae, warm nights and sunny days. The advantage of algae-based biofuels is that they are not a food source, their growth is not a danger to the misuse of agricultural land because the algae can be grown in treated waste water or in silos. There will be those who invest millions of dollars to improve the production of algae and those, like the Desert Sweet Shrimp, a shrimp farm converted by growing the raw material to create his new line of business.
