Bill Gates Digs Algal Oil

Bill, you’re on the right track but you need to get with this company to have your bio prayers answered more quickly.  This company will produce possibly 10 times the bio diesel and jet fuel projected by Sapphire Energy.  Check it out.

This company in El Paso, Texas is just weeks away from proving their their estimates of output are correct.  They are talking about 100,000 gallons of fuel produced per acre per year.  This quantity far exceeds any other estimates I’ve read about in biofuel production.  I believe their process makes so much sense that every effort should be made to promote their methods with every company I can find that is looking into the change from fossil fuels to biofuels.

I appreciate your time and consideration.

As far as I know, Sapphire Energy hasn’t discussed an expected cost per gallon. Estimates and projections from other algae-biodiesel companies have varied widely. Some companies have claimed they eventually expect costs as low as $1.30 per gallon (which would be $52.60 per barrel): http://www.symmetryco.com/BioFuel/BioFuel.htm. Others—such as PetroSun—have cited potential costs as high as $20 per gallon ($840 per barrel) for algal fuel for the military, which are subject to special restrictive conditions: http://www.marketwire.com/press-release/Petrosun-Inc-840825.html. And a company called HR Biopetroleum in 2006 estimated that algal biodiesel would cost $32 to $75 per barrel: http://honoluluweekly.com/cover/story-continued/2006/04/high-octane-algae/.

I think they have a good chance at making it but I was wondering what they were going to be able to get their cost per barrel of algae biodiesel would be.
