    so you burn high quality DHA omega3 in a car as a fuel? basically the most valuable and best oil on earth.

      oil COMES from algae. So makes sense - microalgae can store 100 gigatons of co2 per year!! Let's do it already.

    wait a sec they where making algea fuel then shell signed a contract with them after which shifted from fuel to supplement ? wtf 1:50

    fracking pollutes our underground water sources. It does more damage than good. There are so many ways for us to get our energy but oil is so big , until we runout, then other ways to get energy will be embraced.

      PRAY that petrol, diesel and gas become too expensive - so that big companies will be forced to use biofuels.

    What is the total established land? How many tons of biofuel is produced annually? What is the total reactor volume? Can you inform us about the reactor's width, length, depth, rpm, and light efficiency for the design of the reactor?

    It can use CO2 from cars then what are the CO2 tanks doing there? (0:42) I assume this is just a test tank.

    I think someone or one's should focus on consumer size diy algae refineries and farming for small batch off grid consumer market. But people are all like, its not profitable and if it doesn't make tons of money it don't make sense.

      Before you throw out these ungrounded assumptions do some research. There are hundreds of initiatives around for small scale (domestic) use.

    GET THE CAR COMPANIES TO MAKE THEIR CONCEPT CAR THAT CAN USE BOTH GAS AND ALGAE INTERCHANGEABLY, then refine the algae recipe compatible on all the old cars. Its so easy to conceptualize, seems like business owners just want people buying newer things deepening their debt.

    His methods are unnecessarily sophisticated and complicated and expensive when mechanically automated systems using passive natural processes can do the same job a million times faster in the same period of time. But then that is Russian proprietary information and technology used for medicinal and food production purposes for our C.O.C programs.

      They each have their place. The technology just has to be used accordingly, as of yet, most is not (not just vehicles).
