Algae leads pathway to sustainable biofuel

December 1, 2009

South Australia’s intention to focus on the production of biodiesel from algae rather than other options has been supported by a review of the Australian biofuels sector. The Australian Biofuels 2009 report declares that algae has significant potential advantages over existing biofuel crops. APAC Biofuel Consultants Joint Chief Executive Mike Cochran said a benefit of algae is that it is many times more productive than canola or other similar food crops. Cochran also said South Australia had the right strain of algae with high oil content, good sunlight, water and land and intellectual resources. (September 22, 2009)
