Biofuels Breakthrough

2GreenEnergy supporter Tom Blakeslee is a prolific author, the president of the non-profit Clearlight Foundation, and an all-around terrific human being.   I smiled when I just checked my email and found that he had sent me this fascinating piece on Algenol Biofuels, which boasts a considerable breakthrough in this arena.

9000 acres of ethanol per acre per year?  That really sounds attractive. By my calculations, the energy equivalent of an acre of PV with a capacity factor of 20% is about 6.5 times that amount, but there is no doubt that creating a liquid fuel is of considerable value, and Algenol’s results are more than 20 times that of corn ethanol.
