The 11 Top Biofuels Trends of 2011
Jim Lane | December 27, 2011
It’s that holiday time, time to look-back with misty eyes at the glories of yesteryear. In our case, at the 11 Hottest Trends of 2011, in what proved to be a vintage year for biofuels. There were IPOs a go-go, a big comeback from biodiesel. The global ethanol fleet has acquired new popularity amongst advanced biofuels developers looking for capital light steel in the ground. Meanwhile, gasification got hot. Seemed like every algae venture headed for Algstralia, and Brazil and the US Navy became everyone’s new best friends.

Will biofuel produced from algae power the future?
Will biofuel produced from algae power the future?
12.Radhicka S SaxenaDec 24 2011.The race to produce sustainable biofuel
With the demand for alternative fuels on the rise, engendered mainly by the ballooning prices of fossil fuels, there is an inherent need to manufacture algae based biofuels commercially by bringing down the input cost of production. As they are environmentally friendly, biofuels are greatly preferred over fossil fuels for energy production. Biofuels can be produced using both algae and food crops, but owing to many reasons it is a good idea to not use the latter for their production.

Is Algae-based Biofuel an Energy Game Changer?
Is Algae-based Biofuel an Energy Game Changer?

Algae is one surprising potential energy source that is showing great promise. It has gained recent media attention as the U.S Navy has announced plans to test the use of algae biofuel in one of its cargo ships. Unlike oil which is only found in underground deposits in certain parts of the world, algae grows in abundance all over the globe. Approximately half of algae’s weight is comprised of lipid oil can be converted into biodiesel. Biodiesel burns more cleanly and efficiently than petroleum.

Algae eyed as biofuel, animal feed

The lowly algae may soon be a useful biofuel and a source of animal feeds but only if the agricultural and energy sectors focus their efforts on tapping it.

Status of Algae Biofuel Industry at Philippines
Why Phillipines?
Philippines is one country which does a lot of work in biotech industry, specifically in agricultural biotechnology. The Philippines was the first country in Asia to approve the commercial cultivation of a genetically-modified Bt corn variety in December 2002. The country has so far approved 41 varieties of genetically-modified plants for use in the country. In the Philippines, There are several research institutions which work on developing transgenic crops for food. Some notable institutes are:

Roxas City – After sugarcane, coconut, jatropha, cassava and sweet sorghum, here comes algae.
The PNOC Alternative Fuels Corp. may introduce the use of biodiesel from algae next year, saying it is about to enter talks with a US-based firm engaged in algae technology on how to derive and market biodiesel from algae.
