A study by the Indian government has found that the amount of electronic waste in the country is growing 10 per cent every year, and 95 per cent of it will end up in urban slums – some 434,000 metric...

Can anyone tell me? how much % of the CO2 is captured by the algae? - projectmanagement
View ArticleCO2 captured
Depends how much algae there is, but the CO2 they capture is still going to be lost when they are burned as biofuel. They could potentially capture all the CO2, but we wont know until they actually...

This is a help, but it's not carbon neutral. The coal release co2, which is absorbed by algea, then turned into fuel, and then released. Get more "mileage" from it at least. But still continues to add...

The oil production possibility using algae is very exciting . Algae needs heat and coal-fired power plants produce too much waste heat and I'm wondering if that is what some part of this project...

I did a research paper on the use of algae for biodiesel and ethanol production. One of the problems with algae isn't an issue of efficiency, it's too much growth - too much algae is produced. There...
View ArticleToo much a problem?!?
How can too much growth be a problem? All you have to do is keep syphoning off the excess algae to use as fuel. But the indoor algae does sound like it could increase efficiency. - Clinch
View ArticleThe cost
The biggest problem with the growing of algae for biofuel is the capital cost. Algae can produce at best around 3 gallons of fuel per sq metre per year in an enclosed bioreactor (the most efficeint)...
