Fed Makes Financial Leaps back into Algae Fuel Research
by JLundee - July 21st, 2010.Filed under: Automotive, Uncategorized.
CABC (Consortium for Algal Biofuels Commercialization), SABC (Sustainable Algal Biofuels Consortium, and Cellana, LLC Consortium just received a large grant of twenty four million dollars from the federal government in algae fuel research. Each group has been designated specific tasks to tackle the obstacles laid forth by algae’s ability to yield energy.
CABC, led by the University of California will focus on developing algae as a hearty biofuel feedstock. Most of their assignment will include the following:
• Investigating new ways to protect algae crops from contamination and predation
• Algal Nutrient usage and recycling
• Developing genetic tools
They will be working closely with seven companies including Sapphire Energy, General Atomics, and Sempra Energy, who are also providing three million to finance research and development.
SABC, led by Arizona State University, will pay close attention to testing acceptability of these new biofuels as substitutes for petroleum based fuels. Some of their duties will be to:
• Investigate biochemical conversion of algae to fuels
• Analyze properties of algal fuels and intermediates
Lastly, Cellana, led by Cellana (Shell and HR BioPetroleum) will look at large scale production of feed and fuels from microalgae matured in seawater. Their tasks will include the following:
• The assimilation of new harvest technologies with “pilot-scale cultivation test beds”
• Development of marine microalgae as animal nourishment for the industry of aquaculture
CABC will receive approximately nine million from the DOE, while SABC and Cellana will get the remaining fifteen. Funding for such research began back during the Jimmy Carter period, where the former president invested nearly twenty five million into algae fuel research. Funding and research was shelved momentarily during the Clinton Administration, but has since returned, with many fortune 500 (i.e. – Exon Mobile) pouring money into R&D.
Despite the hault in algae fuel funding, Former President Clinton along with close confidant Doug Band, continues to invest into reducing the U.S. carbon footprint. With alternative energy efforts like this, and that of the Fed and Exon, we’re still on track towards optimum sustainability.
