Algae Cultivation Systems – Open Ponds vs PBR
By: Dr. John Kyndt – Head Scientist of the Renewable Energy Program at Advanced Energy Creations Lab.
Industrial cultivation of algae allows for the commercialization of numerous products including food, fertilizer, green chemicals, nutriceuticals and pharmaceuticals, or fuel. Whatever the target product is, if one is planning to cultivate algae for commercial production there will be a challenge of scaling the production system and inevitably the dilemma will emerge to either grow the algae in open ponds or closed systems.

The Super Algae Race
by Prof. Aecio D’Silva
Inarguably, we need a “Super Algae”
Without a doubt, Algae are the perfect biofuels feedstock. However, despite this truth, in my opinion it really depends also on the progress of Algae genomics to make algae biofuels
Algae Oil-Based Biorefineries
By: Dr. John Kyndt – Head Scientist of the Renewable Energy Program at Advance Energy Creations Lab .
Algae have the potential to be a sustainable feedstock for the production of advanced biofuels and green chemicals. Production of advanced biofuels and bioproducts from algae, however, faces a number of challenges toward commercialization, in particular issues encountered upon scale up.
A large portion of the algal research around the world is focused on developing economically viable harvesting technologies and optimizing refining technologies for the final products.
Algae biomass composition is dependent on the algae species grown and on the environment in which the cells are cultivated. Some species have a high preference for lipids as storage material and others become rich in starch and sugars… Continue reading
