Green Light For Marine Algae

Shell is to become the first major oil-company to produce diesel fuel from marine algae. Algae are climate friendly way to make fuel from carbon dioxide. They yield oil that can quickly convert to diesel, and can be fed CO2 directly from smokestacks. Unlike biofuels, i.e. corn, they don’t consume soil or water that could otherwise be used to grow food that can put up food prices. Back in 1990, the US government aborted research on algal biofuel because of the low cost of crude oil. But as oil and food prices rose, small algal fuel producers came to the fore.

Shell plans to begin building on a pilot plant in Hawaii with immediate effect, which it hopes will yield fifteen-times-as much oil for a given area as other biofuel crops, with the help of efficiency of algal photosynthesis.
