What are the benefits of using algae fuel over conventional fuel?
Fuels from algae have several advantages over fossil fuels as well as over the first and second generation biofuels. 1. Compared to other biofuels most of them made from crops, algae grows much faster and contains much more energy per unit of weight. 2. Algae produces 30-100 times more oil per acre than corn and soybeans 3. Algae biofuel contains no sulfur and hence is non-toxic 4. Microalgae biofuel is highly biodegradable 5. Algae solves the food vs. fuel crisis. 6. Algae fuel is carbon neutral.
