Growing algae for biofuel to replace oil

According to US scientists, just growing algae on 6 million hectares of fallow land in the US, the country has enough fuel to use without importing oil.

According to a biological researcher at the University of California, USA, if the country takes 15 million acres (1 sample = 0.4 hectares) of fallow land into cultivating algae, it can be produced. enough fuel to not depend on oil imports from the Middle East.

A company called LiveFuels Inc. In San Francisco, the United States is investing in algae mining and farming and it is expected that every three years, the company can recycle more than 63,000 liters of fuel per acre of acreage.

The United States is currently trying to find sources of materials for recycling new fuels to replace traditional fuels such as gasoline. Many countries around the world have invested and tested the use of wood chips, hay, grain corn, bagasse . to recycle biofuels.

Recently, the exploitation and cultivation of algae for biofuel recycling is attracting the attention of American investors in this area and algae is considered as a " green gold ".

Algae have the advantage of being able to natural photosynthesis and this process produces an abundant supply of biofuels. In addition, geothermal activity in the desert is able to provide free foam carbon dioxide to help algae absorb and convert into organic matter for recycling into fuel.
