Algae vs. Petrol


Never We have heard so much about bicombustíveis as now. Soybean growers Brazilian, Indonesian oil palm oil and other agricultural crops salivam faced with the prospects of transforming this mount fuel crops in the future. But these dreams can collapse in front of a competitor uncommon: seaweed. This is being made by a serie of companies fantastic names to the US, such as and Solix biofuels Solazyme .On paper, the idea more than reasonable: some species of green algae, beings NET operating essentially terrestrial plants are up to 100 times more productive soybeans, for example. And make them grow not requires practises nor skill: they do not need to land, water, only light and carbon dioxide. Cell oil can be transformed into biodiesel, able to move all type of vehicle and still be used PRA warm homes. The high efficiency of growth of them also means that an area for small would be sufficient PRA grow them, instead of vast soy farming Today Amazon driving deforestation. However, remains sevai give to resolve problems that prevent the production of seaweed-diesel in large scale. We must find the right way for controlled growth of algae – If it is too quickly, some have just sealing the light of the other and enguiçam process.And also is still a problem that seaweed extract the oil – you must use chemical methods, because it does not to simply espremê them, as with the olives. In short, prove that the seaweed-diesel going to do so well to Pocket on the environment can be done.
[Super interessante]
By While 1 x 0 for the algae, but the debate continues in the next post.
