Oilgae - Fuel from Algae
Research and investments in algae fuels are accelerating at a fast pace.
Deriving fuels from algae present significant challenges. Chief among them is the high cost of cultivating and harvesting algae. Currently, algae-based fuels cost almost an order of magnitude higher than that of biofuels from first generation and second generation biofuel feedstocks.
The other advantages that algae present from a biofuel perspective are so critical that significant investments are taking place in spite of the current high costs.
