ALGAE
In the beginning, there were algae,
but there was no oil. Then, from algae came oil.
Now, the algae are still there, but oil is fast depleting.In future, there will be no oil, but there will still be algae.
So, doesnt it make sense to explore if we can again get oil from algae?
This is what we should try to do.

Algae are part of our liveOcean-dwelling phytoplankton from the genus Ostreococcus emerge
at the primitive root of the green plant lineage, dating back nearly1.5 billion years. Today, these microscopic, free-living creatures,among the smallest eukaryotes ever characterizedbarely amicron in diameterare major contributors to nearly half of theworlds total photosynthetic activity.
Assimilation of atmospheric CO2 by marine phytoplankton is aglobal-scale process that is responsible for about half of thebiosphere net primary production, said collaborator and co-author Herv Moreau of the Pierre & Marie Curie UniversityOceanic Observatory in Banyuls-sur-mer, France. This activeabsorption of hundreds of millions of tons of carbon per day isessential for maintaining the control of the planets climate bycounteracting greenhouse effects due to human activities. Clearly,this storage capacity is affected by changes in the photosyntheticefficiency of the algae, which in turn is linked to the environmentalconditions experienced by these organisms in their environment.
We can not live without them

Algae productivity
Human NutritionTriglyceride oils harvested from algae are rich in heart healthyunsaturated fats, contain no trans fats, are shelf stable, low in
saturated fats, and are composed of a variety of valuable fatty
acid profiles. The oils are also high in antioxidants and other
valuable nutrition materials, including phospholipids,
tocopherols, tocotrienols, sterols, and carotenoids.
In addition to oils, edible algal flour products from the
microalgae technology platform, are naturally encapsulatedlipid delivery vehicles which can facilitate the addition of oils
and fats to many food and beverage systems, such as dry
mixes and bakery products.
Animal NutritionHigh protein algae meals are rich in essential amino acids.
These protein-rich materials are primary sources of essentialamino acids, and also provide monounsaturated lipids,
carbohydrates, and phyconutrients as part of a balanced diet.
Fiber and carbohydrate-rich algae meals are high energy feed
ingredients. Co-products from creating algal oils, these fiber
and carbohydrate-rich meals contain unique, highly digestible
mixtures of proteins, lipids, and carbohydrates, and are useful
as nutrient sources for animal feeds.

Algae healthHealth Sciences
Today's cosmetic and nutraceutical markets are
exciting growth opportunities driven by increasing
consumer demand for natural, science-based products
that deliver real results.
All nameable producers in this market are
commercializing novel and clinically-researched marine
and microalgal ingredients for a wide range of healthand wellness product uses. Lead products include:
oral supplement with key ingredients including algal oil
and algal micronutrients.
Whole Cell Cosmetics is a class of ingredient products
emerging from development stage. It is based on the
science that nutrient-rich microalgae can serve as a
delivery vehicle in personal care formulations for a
variety of oil-based micronutrients. Initial product
embodiments include hair care (shampoo and
conditioner) formulations, and skin moisturizer.
Basically it can be said that all prominent producers
worldwide compete in developing natural wellness and
beauty technologies, that are better for human health
and better for our planet, not forgetting to mention the
algae as a source of all this improvement. Photo&Text: Solazyme Technologies

Algae FuelAlgae have evolved highly efficient pathways for oilproduction. In fact, much of the oil we use today for fuels
and chemicals originated with ancient algal blooms. Unlike
other microorganisms, algae are incredibly efficient lipid
producers.
Here some facts about currant Bio-fuel developments:
Algae-Bio-diesel meets ASTM D6751, EN 14214, ASTM D975and
military specifications.
Algae-diesel has demonstrated better cold temperature properties
than any currently available biodiesel.
Soladiesel BD and Soladiesel RD(both products of SOLAZYME)
are the first algal-derived fuels to have been successfully road-tested
(up to B100, unblended) for thousands of miles in a variety ofunmodified vehicles.
SolaHRJetTM jet fuel (SOLAZYME) has passed all of the eleven
essential tested specifications required to meet the ASTM D1655 (Jet-
A1) standard. It is the worlds first microbially-derived jet fuel to do
so.
The fuels can be used "neat," or in blends with conventional fuels.Photo&Text: Solazyme Technologies

Like plants, algae use the sunlight for the process of photosynthesis. Photosynthesis is an important
biochemical process in which plants, algae, and some bacteria convert the energy of sunlight to
chemical energy. Algae capture light energy through photosynthesis and convert inorganic
substances into simple sugars using the captured energy.
Factors that Determine Algal Growth RateThe following are the important factors that determine the growth rate of algae:
Light: Light is needed for the photosynthesis process
Temperature:There is an ideal temperature range that is required for algae to grow
Medium/Nutrients:Composition of the water is an important consideration (including salinity)
pH - Algae typically need a pH between 7 and 9 to have an optimum growth rate
Algae Type:Different types of algae have different growth rates
Aeration:The algae need to have contact with air, for its CO2 requirements
Mixing:Mixing prevents sedimentation of algae and makes sure all cells are equally exposed to light
Photoperiod:Light & dark cycles
Sample nutrients for freshwater algae:
Ca(NO3)2; KH2PO4; MgSO4; NaHCO3 & trace elements / metalsNaNO3; MgSO4; NaCl; K2HPO4; KH2PO4; CaCl2 & trace elements / metals
Sample nutrients for blue green algae:
NaNO3; Na2HPO4; K2HPO4 & trace elements / metals
Under theses favourable circumstances algae develop a high growth potential the number of cells
double 2-3 times a day. 1gr of algae-biomass to 5 kilo after 5 days - to 1 ton after 10 days.
1 kg of algae requires 1,65 kg of CO in production.

Power Plant CO2 Sequestration
Capture and sequestration of CO2 is one of the most critical challenges
today for businesses and governments worldwide.
Thousands of CO2 emitting power plants and industries worldwide face this
costly challenge - reduce your CO2 emissions or pay penalties.
One ton algae require, for their growth, 1.8 tons of CO2; algae thus are large
absorbers of CO2. Combine their affinity for CO2 with the fact that algae can
grow practically anywhere, and we are presented with an excitingopportunity - What if these CO2 emitting industries and power plants could
use algae to absorb the CO2 and generate biofuels in return?
This is precisely what companies and power plants around the world are
beginning to explore.
