Comprehensive Oilgae Report - Energy from Algae: Products, Market, Processes & Strategies

Algae fuels present an exciting opportunity. There is a strong view among industry professionals that algae represent the most optimal feedstock for biofuel production in the long run. It is also widely accepted that algae alone - and no other bio-feedstock - have the ability to replace the entire global fossil fuel requirements. Such a significant opportunity has resulted in companies both large and small investing in algal energy.

Algae present multiple possibilities to fuel end-products - biodiesel, ethanol, methane, jet fuel, biocrude and more - via a wide range of process routes. Each of these process routes presents its own set of opportunities, parameters, dynamics and challenges. 

Efforts into algae fuel research have accelerated in the past few years. As of mid 2010, about hundred companies and over a hundred universities have begun serious exploratory effects into algae fuels. 

All these efforts will benefit enormously if a comprehensive resource is available that brings them up-to-date on the various critical aspects of the industry, status of past and on-going efforts, and critical data for assessing the technical and economic feasibility of algae fuels. Such a comprehensive resource has teh potential to save many months of research and analysis. 

The Comprehensive Oilgae Report was developed to satisfy this clear need.

The Comprehensive Oilgae Report is the most detailed report dealing with all aspects of the algae fuel industry. The report is divided into four main sections:

• Concepts and Cultivation
• Diverse Energy Products from Algae
• Processes & Challenges
• Industry & Market Information

Each section provides in-depth information, details and updates on the most critical aspects relevant to it.

The objective of the Comprehensive Oilgae Report is to facilitate tangible steps for an algae fuel venture. The emphasis hence is on providing practical data, updates and insights.

In addition, the report has made special efforts in identifying the core challenges faced in each aspect of the algae fuels value chain. It also provides inputs on the current efforts and possible solutions to overcome these challenges.

The report has been developed with over two years of in-depth research, and has been developed with inputs from biofuel industry experts, biotechnology researchers, and professioals who have been constantly interacting with the algae fuels industry for over four years.

The Comprehensive Oilgae Report will be an invaluable guide to those keen on venturing into one of the most exciting renewable energy domains.
