gblueslover2 filling up takes 5 minutes while you’re running errands. Charging takes up to an hour even at the fastest charge stations. Not terribly convenient if you drive long distances at a time. Also, this bio fuel could end up being pretty damn cheap. Fuel refining is a very cheap process. The prices breaks down to oil cost, refining, shipping and dispensing, ad recuperation, and taxes. This bio fuel is renewable, can be produced locally, and will likely have lower taxes for lower emissions. On top of that buying a new EV is both more expensive and much dirtier than keeping an existing ICE running. EVs only truly shine for people who can actually recharge overnight, ie short/mostly in town commutes. ICEs are much better for highway and long distance drivers.
Well,still electric cars is more silent and easy to controll so this could be an alternate car:either you want silent slightly better more exspensive car or the cheap one FlushF00T
This is something I could actually get behind and actually see being done in the future. I live in Florida, Most of our Power Plants are by bodies of fresh or salt water. This would bring an end to the subsidization of food products like corn and sugar for ethanol.
The world runs on diesel, not gas. Trains, farm equipment, trucks, construction equipment, ships. This could be huge in keeping the world economy going when oil production slows.
We need synthetics made from abundant sources that are chemically identical so you can mix it right into the real stuff and none of them machines know the difference. That way my car can just have 91 octane and the crude oil tanker ship I invest in can still make a ton of money whether it's pumping the real deal or the real deal just made in a factory. We should have to worry about if the fuel pumps are going to run out or be too expensive while the government tries to groom you to buy an electric car so they dig up another few square miles of the earth looking for lithium. I'm going to look into lithium structure.
Bro we're not going to have a choice. They already spike straight ethanol made from corn into most of the gas for sale. The issue is that seems like a weird way to do it when you could take the corn and mix it with other stuff and try to make A chemically identical man made oil, fuel ect. If you could make a molecule that was molecularly identical to the hydrocarbons used to make our fuels in refining, you could just mix it right in with the real stuff pumped out of the bowels of the earth and none of the oil tankers or motor cars would be able to tell the difference. Problem is, it takes a crap load of energy to do that.
Ironically, science is also why we're in such a predicament. The stone age and the hunter/gathers were sustainable. Fossil fuels, Haber-Bosch, and the overproduction inherent in capitalism is not.
@@Bo12346hhgfgdg Capitalism would be fine by me if externalaties didn't exist, but they do. I'd even be forgiving of capitalism if the externalities would reliably show up on the corporate balance sheet as an expense, clearly they don't. Pollution/habitat destruction-- the resulting poor health outcomes, dislocations of those with family farms/small fishing operations, or those who simply live off the land, are all scenarios and costs beared by the general public. Rarely are corporations required to compensate individuals and communities even approximating a level of fairness. We all hear about the rare $100 million settlements, but that's after many have already died or been financially ruined. Corporate boards need more transparency and worker representation. A corporation shouldn't be structured in a way which is secretive and at odds with their workers, the communities they operate in, or to the environment. All this plastic crap and overproduction of non organic chemicals and the burning of both waste and fossil fuels is affecting all of us. I don't take endocrine disruptors, cancer, respitory illnesses, or global habitat destruction lightly. What quality of life has really been achieved by a comfortable life with a bunch of gadgets and toys, if you're body and brain have been diminished?
If you have the skills and education to do that work, you should have no problem finding a similar job in another form of chemical engineering with very little training, no? I wouldn't worry about that too much...engineers will never be abundant in the world...it is just way too hard for 99% of the population to get through those calculus and physics classes!!
Figuring out how to make this stuff we pump up from the bowels of the earth on the surface in large amounts would be nice bro. Imagine the cost of fueling things becomes not even a concern.
Genetically engineer a new type of algae that is more suitable to the farming process and make a type for each climate. CRISPR should be capable of such a feat.
You can't just genetically engineer stuff willy nilly. You have to be careful of what you are releasing into the wild. Normally when something microscopic is genetically engineered it's kept in tanks or some other container.
Lemonz1989 Agreed. And for the record, I'm an engineer, not a geneticist. I don't really know what it takes to alter an organisms, just what I've seen on RUclips. That said, the modified algae would be in containers. That and you could seal the tops with transparent plastic to seal the moisture inside. Assuming the algae thrive in warm humid environments, you could use cheap desert land to set up large scale facilities.
automotives dont have to be dependent on fossil fuels! This video shows how we can make biodiesel, this could power all of our semi-trucks and industrial transportation, and with the common day citizen who doesnt drive a diesel truck, we have ethanol! Not only can we create cars that wont be dependent on a depleting resource, but fuels like e85 are actually higher octane then generic gasoline meaning that users can see performance benefits too!
Algae can actually also be used to make butanol, a different alcohol which is a near-substitute for gasoline or (more likely) can be blended with gasoline/petrol like ethanol (EtOH) is, only it's a FAR better choice than EtOH in many, many ways. It doesn't harm the plastics & rubber parts of a car engine, it doesn't increase pollution/emissions, it only slightly decreases mileage (but actually has similar power). And it can be blended in much higher percentages (or, again, be used almost nearly straight in an unmodified auto engine).
While it is true they need good access to sunlight and carbon, can that not be accessed in a building designed for vertical farming? The farm featured was built next to a power plant. Now how do you think they get the carbon from the plant, and into the plants (just to use a pun)? Putting the carbon in the air first would be inefficient, so it is likely pumped though pipes to the farm. If they are already doing that, they they could do the same for a vertical farm. Now that leaves only sunlight. Could not the algae get the sunlight in a vertical farm though careful building design that maximizes sunlight per floor and/or artificial lighting?
I feel like its a great idea you have going but from a business perspective, I don't think people are willing to put the time and money to design such a thing and have to keep it constantly regulated. Why do that when you can build a cheaper lane of open algae (remember they have to meet certain conditions to do what the makers want) and help the carbon pollution that's already out in the air.
True. It would require someone willing to spend the required money, knowing they would not get any good returns for it in a long time - if ever. It would take a billionaire who cares for the environment. Luckily, there are a few billionaires who at the least claim to care about the environment.
I'm including this company in a presentation project to present to my state's legislator in order to help expand its reach, or at the very least increase awareness of it in order to help advance its global affect with other green-solution companies trying to combat the world's mounting problems. If you want to help accelerate such causes, then I recommend that you do the same thing. Call up your representatives and bring this to their attention. It's a very simple baby step that you can take to have a real change in the world.
I love this! Positive innovation! And as a spirulina user I was already fine with algae anyway. :D Negative people should remember that if you would have talked to someone 30 years ago, and told them we'd all be walking around with our own little portable computers, that allow us to use a global network, look up all the information in it and watch videos online, there would have been many people who would have thought it was a crazy idea. Progress often goes faster than people expect, once the momentum is there, the train is on the track and it will steadily keep moving. So stay positive and all try to do your part to help the environment.
Well , one of the products of Algae Biofuel that i liked is called "Biogasoline" . Which can be used in ICE cars without Flex Engine / Special Engine ......
Tho only problem with Biofuels and current engines is that they're solvents, which means they can shrink/destroy rubber hoses, if you're going to use pure Biogasoline, you'd need to replace rubber hoses with something that doesn't get destroyed by it.
The Saudi and other middle eastern oil countries don't depend on oil as their income now, most of them have crossed over to renewable years ago and will be self sustaining by 2030.
what if we could pump sea water into the desert, we could build algae rivers and lakes. and there would be lots of evaporated fresh water in the atmosphere. you could go huge to start with.
Ah dr kio marv's oilix algae fuel had finally brought to the real world yay no more worry about run out of fuel anymore hihi thany you dr kio marv your idea of algae based biofuel had finally come true 😆😆😆
too bad that the middle east and russia would be ruined economically by this and powerful oil companies would be very against this, so expect government intervention soon.
I hope that you guys can accomplish this mission!!! A world where everyone can see our beautiful blue sky and not worry about getting cancer, would be amazing!♡♡♡ :)
Why isn’t this a more prominent news item on nightly discussions of global warming, hunger, need for fuel, economics etc? This should be tag teaming with solar and wind and hydro electric to clean this planet up!
Please faster we need this tomorrow our air quality depends on cleaner energy and we need smart people leading us not people with millions of bucks to pay someone else with millions of bucks who wants to pay the crack dealer in new mexico to give us advice to move into the future.
To answer the title question, no. The quantity can never come close to petroleum and cows need the prairie. Cows don’t get feed in Hawaii. The rest of world needs to follow suit. A prairie under a cow is still a prairie but a prairie under a plow is a man made desert. There is no replacement for using drastically less energy which will happen the hard way or the harder way. It is clear that nature’s limits will be reached before humans collectively decide to live in the ecology instead of next to it
It's easier to replace the fuel from our car tanks instead of replacing our cars. But oil companies don't want to invest in these fuels, car maker want us to pay more for electrical cars.
The background music isnt loud enough. Make it louder, i can still understand some of the guy s words . Turn this into a full on music video. That s the point of this video isnt it?
Excellent! I actually plan on researching deeper into this in university. From a biology perspective (e.g. how to cultivate it so it demands less water)
biofuels begin cleaner is a added advantage, the best attribute these fuels have is that they are carbon neutral if something is carbon neutral it means the carbon that it uses to make it is the same amount that it gives off, and then back again aka the algae takes CO2 from the air then after we converted into fuel and burn it, it releases the same co2 back in the air that's the carbon cycle. the problem with fossil fuels is that the CO2 in them has been trapped in the Earth and has been out of the cycles loop for a very long time and, the cycle can only handle and use so much of the new co2 begin pumped in the atmosphere( all the plants can only absorb so much, then when they reach there limit climate change/global warming will speed up ,and possibly could to the point of no return) with biofuels your using the CO2 already in the established cycle wich can regulate itself not added new, this is the future, as long as we so choose it to be
The one thing that bothers me about these "technologies that will end poverty" and all the other hypes they have around them is that they never seem to implement these types of farms in the areas they're supposed to help. If it's going to be so great for Africa, why the hell is it in Hawaii?!?
Evan B You think this plant was set up with government money? Maybe a government grant or something but this is probably mostly private money. There are probably very few if any reason they couldn't build the plant where it's supposed to help people other than they didn't want too.
If some one doesn't see the operation making a lot of profit then no one will want to build it. That's just the kind of greedy world we live in. Governments have other problems to deal with in poorer countries unfortunately. I would just like to make it clear that I wish this technology be used everywhere in the world, I just just stating why it isn't.
Evan B It's not making any profit right now. Did you not hear them say that they would probably be down to $2 a gallon if they could scale it and they're having problems doing so? They aren't selling this yet.
Yes I did hear that and it further solidifies my point. How can a poor country implement this technology if they can't afford it? You asked why this isn't done in poor countries and that's why lol
I really hope this happens in a huge gearhead and I don't want to feel guilty about driving anymore. I have a v8 mustang and I would love to just enjoy clean Motorsport. If this happens we could keep brapping our dirt bikes and loud exhausts for cars. Now we only have to worry about manual driving being illegal as self driving cars arise.
Don't electric vehicles have faster acceleration and less latency when it comes to control? I think it would be a lot more fun to ride bikes and cars with instantaneous response...it always seems like there's a lag when you push down the pedal in a gas powered vehicle, no?
You will never see us get away from oil bro. Oils run the world. We're going to develop oil identical to what we pump out of the ground. I cook my food on a type of oil made from a seed. They even used it as a lube for mechanical things at one point. We're going to take micro nuclear powerplants to power some electrolysis so we can seperate ocean water into hydrogen and oxygen. Spaceships need oxygen because their is no air in space ECT. You can't just suck all the oxygen we breathe out of the air, so there is a demand for oxygen. Anyway, then we're going to mix the hydrogen and some carbon together to make synthetic gas that is chemically identical to the real premo organic matter we pump from deep underground. So we can produce more than we pump up and chop cost of fuel by order of magnitude and then we don't have to spike ethanol right into the gas which vehicles don't like. There's better things we can do with the corn or the ethanol tbh. I don't like hydrogen bombs driving around man! We could use the hydrogen and make real liquid gasoline if we get enough geniuses together
CNTMN LAC AND ORGANIC INDUSTRY PRIVATE LIMITED is a manufacturer of high quality shellac products which is used to make polish materials for wooden furniture and the confectionery glazing coating and electrical insulator burnish. We encourage cultivator to cultivate lac more and more. Lac is a rasinus secretion of tree triggered by insect. Lac will also be an alternative fuels for future.
Algae solar energy conversion potential around 10% Solar power Conversion and capture potential between 10% and 60% Algae energy conversion to fuel potential maybe around 90% Solar energy conversion to fuel potential around 80% (hydrogen), 60% (methane + other hydrocarbons) Hence we are likely much better off making power directly from Solar energy, and then creating synthetic fuels from it, than to grow algae for fuel. Grown algae would be best put to use directly as a foodstuff instead.
This is one of the first teams in the world to go all the way from designing sustainable biofuel feedstocks in outdoor ponds, to refining fuel so that it runs a diesel engine in a cleaner, more environmentally friendly way.
If you burn methane you get water, heat and CO2. If you mix algae, water, sunlight and CO2 you get food or fuel. If you bubble carbon dioxide through caustic soda you get more heat and sodium carbonate. So, two heat sources, water as a bi-product, a source of food and a source of fuel - all virtually unlimited and with a huge negative carbon footprint.
And once there is enough people to put forth the hours to create some sort of powerful enough technology to extract the CO2 and other pollutants- and there is enough resources to make the algae- I'll considerate it a fuel that we could keep on using indefinitely............. But nope! This is however fascinating. I'm not saying its nearly as bad as fracking the landscape barren. You can see that ish on satellite imagery of earth all over the place. I'm just don't fancy combustion forces nearly as much as electromagnetism. It's a much more refined reaction- just like LEDs compared with your average hot and inefficient incandescent light bulb.
0:50 or maybe just stop exploit those poor animals? C'mon for diesel its great idea but for feeding live stock is just another efficient way of being sadistic
I am about to embark upon an experiment in the destructive distillation of wood. I shall try to grow enough algae to do a batch, and see what I can get.
the only problem is the oil industry, they will not give up. We need alternative fuels, this algae, wind, solar, hemp... there are alternative fuels it's just getting the public and the government to accept them and start using them.
And what's wrong with sugar cane and corn for the exact same purpose? It looks like this process uses a lot more energy and if one pond gets contaminated with a disease you can't fix it like you would a patch of corn or sugar cane. This is stupid. One pond gets contaminated and all that product gone.
Great in theory, not in real life. Just because you made algae fuel, doesn't mean that fuel won't put emissions into the atmosphere. Also it will create jobs in the oil industry, but also remove them in the oil industry.
Is there any scientific backing by a renown environmentalist to back up all the things this guy is saying? Seems too good to be true. Just saying, not hating.

if something is carbon neutral it means the carbon that it uses to make it is the same amount that it gives off, and then back again aka the algae takes CO2 from the air then after we converted into fuel and burn it, it releases the same co2 back in the air that's the carbon cycle. the problem with fossil fuels is that the CO2 in them has been trapped in the Earth and has been out of the cycles loop for a very long time and, the cycle can only handle and use so much of the new co2 begin pumped in the atmosphere( all the plants can only absorb so much, then when they reach there limit climate change/global warming will speed up ,and possibly could to the point of no return)
with biofuels your using the CO2 already in the established cycle wich can regulate itself not added new, this is the future, as long as we so choose it to be
these people are cute. hope they will do well.
I cannot describe how much i love this idea. For me this man is a true legend he innovates well and theres more than profit behind this idea.
The one thing that bothers me about these "technologies that will end poverty" and all the other hypes they have around them is that they never seem to implement these types of farms in the areas they're supposed to help. If it's going to be so great for Africa, why the hell is it in Hawaii?!?
It's still really expensive to operate. So countries that are more poor can't afford the technology yet.

You think this plant was set up with government money? Maybe a government grant or something but this is probably mostly private money. There are probably very few if any reason they couldn't build the plant where it's supposed to help people other than they didn't want too.
If some one doesn't see the operation making a lot of profit then no one will want to build it. That's just the kind of greedy world we live in. Governments have other problems to deal with in poorer countries unfortunately. I would just like to make it clear that I wish this technology be used everywhere in the world, I just just stating why it isn't.
Evan B
It's not making any profit right now. Did you not hear them say that they would probably be down to $2 a gallon if they could scale it and they're having problems doing so? They aren't selling this yet.
Yes I did hear that and it further solidifies my point. How can a poor country implement this technology if they can't afford it? You asked why this isn't done in poor countries and that's why lol
This is awesome! Way to go Global Algae Innovations for leading the way!!!
Hats off to the creator and people of this company, we definitely need this asap
Sad that the cost is a limiting factor /:
:/
4 to 15 times more expensive to produce than diesel & one ten THOUSANTH of the fuel volume used everyday in the usa
I really hope this happens in a huge gearhead and I don't want to feel guilty about driving anymore. I have a v8 mustang and I would love to just enjoy clean Motorsport. If this happens we could keep brapping our dirt bikes and loud exhausts for cars. Now we only have to worry about manual driving being illegal as self driving cars arise.
Don't electric vehicles have faster acceleration and less latency when it comes to control? I think it would be a lot more fun to ride bikes and cars with instantaneous response...it always seems like there's a lag when you push down the pedal in a gas powered vehicle, no?
electric vechiles are far slower and heavyer, tesla is slower than any gasoline car on track
pov: joe biden or sleepy joe sees this
Good work. Whatever gets us away from oil is a positive step
You will never see us get away from oil bro. Oils run the world. We're going to develop oil identical to what we pump out of the ground. I cook my food on a type of oil made from a seed. They even used it as a lube for mechanical things at one point.
We're going to take micro nuclear powerplants to power some electrolysis so we can seperate ocean water into hydrogen and oxygen. Spaceships need oxygen because their is no air in space ECT. You can't just suck all the oxygen we breathe out of the air, so there is a demand for oxygen. Anyway, then we're going to mix the hydrogen and some carbon together to make synthetic gas that is chemically identical to the real premo organic matter we pump from deep underground. So we can produce more than we pump up and chop cost of fuel by order of magnitude and then we don't have to spike ethanol right into the gas which vehicles don't like. There's better things we can do with the corn or the ethanol tbh. I don't like hydrogen bombs driving around man! We could use the hydrogen and make real liquid gasoline if we get enough geniuses together
This is the future. Not electric cars.
i badly wanna work with this company T_T i've been researching algae for about 3 years and this is exactly what i'm looking for
Never give up! And remember CRISPR !!
Hi it's Austin from school 👋
4 years later we didn't see anything yet
i am the first viewer and i expect to be congratulated because of it
ufo
Congrats! :)
Hey congratulations man..I believed in you..I knew you'll do this someday or the other..Wish you all the best for your future
today you found greatness for that I congratulate you !
👏
We really need this now
I've read about a saltwater microalgae called Picochlorum renovo, which has a theoretic mass-doubling time of ~2h 20mins
very interesting
CNTMN LAC AND ORGANIC INDUSTRY PRIVATE LIMITED is a manufacturer of high quality shellac products which is used to make polish materials for wooden furniture and the confectionery glazing coating and electrical insulator burnish. We encourage cultivator to cultivate lac more and more. Lac is a rasinus secretion of tree triggered by insect. Lac will also be an alternative fuels for future.
HOW DID THE EAST AFRICAN SLAVE TRADE CHANGE HISTORY?..........MY NEXT PETITION.........
Algae is the future.
To make this viable you need 850,000 acres of land (minimum).
I can’t imagine the cost of building that facility as it’s several €Trillion !
BIG OIL companies would hate this guy!!
I can already hear the oil tycoons plotting to destroy this
Awesome! Why not use this for aviation? Would be perfect
Algae solar energy conversion potential around 10%
Solar power Conversion and capture potential between 10% and 60%
Algae energy conversion to fuel potential maybe around 90%
Solar energy conversion to fuel potential around 80% (hydrogen), 60% (methane + other hydrocarbons)
Hence we are likely much better off making power directly from Solar energy, and then creating synthetic fuels from it, than to grow algae for fuel.
Grown algae would be best put to use directly as a foodstuff instead.
This is one of the first teams in the world to go all the way from designing sustainable biofuel feedstocks in outdoor ponds, to refining fuel so that it runs a diesel engine in a cleaner, more environmentally friendly way.
2 DOLLARS 💵 A GALLON!!! DID YOU HEAR THAT?! DID YOU?!
is that a lot or a little where your from?
@@captainpinky8307 in LA it's 4 or 5 per gallon. In Texas it's 2.
@@theofficialparasram8782 Wtf, in the Netherlands you pay around 1,70 euro's per liter. This is 6,42 euro's per gallon...
@@RikkerdHZ I know right. LA just wants your money.
@@theofficialparasram8782 What I was trying to say that fuel is VERY cheap in the US. 4/5 dollar per gallon is still REALLY cheap.
If you burn methane you get water, heat and CO2. If you mix algae, water, sunlight and CO2 you get food or fuel. If you bubble carbon dioxide through caustic soda you get more heat and sodium carbonate. So, two heat sources, water as a bi-product, a source of food and a source of fuel - all virtually unlimited and with a huge negative carbon footprint.
And once there is enough people to put forth the hours to create some sort of powerful enough technology to extract the CO2 and other pollutants- and there is enough resources to make the algae- I'll considerate it a fuel that we could keep on using indefinitely............. But nope! This is however fascinating. I'm not saying its nearly as bad as fracking the landscape barren. You can see that ish on satellite imagery of earth all over the place. I'm just don't fancy combustion forces nearly as much as electromagnetism. It's a much more refined reaction- just like LEDs compared with your average hot and inefficient incandescent light bulb.
you deserve to win a nobel peace prize
why don't you talk about the cons? for example the power is MUCH more expansive than other types of clean energy (nuclear : cheap and safe).
VERY SMART!
Music links?
This may sound dumb but how many BTU's of energy does is take for every BTU produced?
Problem is it is proven these bio fuels destroy the motors.
Just googled artificial fuels, seeing this in this in 2022. Can someone send this to Bill Gates...
And now stuff like this will have a harder time to be realized as Republican Trump will freeze state funding for these kinds of things.
0:50 or maybe just stop exploit those poor animals? C'mon for diesel its great idea but for feeding live stock is just another efficient way of being sadistic
I am about to embark upon an experiment in the destructive distillation of wood.
I shall try to grow enough algae to do a batch, and see what I can get.
the only problem is the oil industry, they will not give up. We need alternative fuels, this algae, wind, solar, hemp... there are alternative fuels it's just getting the public and the government to accept them and start using them.
And what's wrong with sugar cane and corn for the exact same purpose? It looks like this process uses a lot more energy and if one pond gets contaminated with a disease you can't fix it like you would a patch of corn or sugar cane. This is stupid. One pond gets contaminated and all that product gone.
‘’Protein is badly needed’’ oh yeh how’s that?, a plant based diet provides all the protein and other nutrients we need. Protein deficiency is a myth!
It's 2021, where is the three dollar a gallon algae based fuel? Or was this just another greenwashing scam?
Great in theory, not in real life. Just because you made algae fuel, doesn't mean that fuel won't put emissions into the atmosphere. Also it will create jobs in the oil industry, but also remove them in the oil industry.
Unfortunately,
This will never come to Brazil
Isn't it better to plant Hemp instead as it has a higher yield per acre? We can produce biofuel, ethanol and fiber and completely stop deforestation.
Is there any scientific backing by a renown environmentalist to back up all the things this guy is saying? Seems too good to be true. Just saying, not hating.
Euphorbeaceae family has a lot of Fuel ⛽ producing plants 🌱
Sir I am working on a project with diesel engine can u provide me 2 liters of Algae fuel in London?
Food to feed growing population, less land to harvest.
