Micro-algae are single celled microscopic organisms which, like plants, use photosynthesis to convert the sun’s energy into chemical energy.
Microalgae can be grown in large vats (bioreactors) that provide the algae with all the needs to maximise growth and oil production.
Micro-algae are much more efficient converters of solar energy than any known terrestrial plant, because they grow in suspension where they have unlimited access to water and more efficient access to CO2 and dissolved nutrients.
The total oil content in algae can be up to 60 to 70% of their dry weight.
Micro-algae are capable of producing more than 30 times the amount of oil (per year per unit area of land) when compared to terrestrial oil seed crops.
Biodiesel is a natural and renewable fuel alternative for diesel engines.
Biodiesel contains no petroleum, is non toxic and biodegradable.
