Algae As A Biodiesel Feedstock

Wayne Keith, a partner in Renewable Energy Systems LLC (RES), has developed gasification technology that enables regular vehicles which are normally fueled with gasoline, to be powered with a wide range of solid biomass materials, like wood, switchgrass, crop residues and broiler litter.

The biomass powered pickup (the Bio-Truck) will be used to attract media attention, and will be powered on a wide range of solid fuels during the course of the tour accross the United States.

View the video interview and demonstration we conducted at the 2008 Southeastern Bioenergy Conference held in Tifton, Georgia.

This year, T-CO Alternative Fuels, LLC. was invited to the 2008 Southeast Bioenergy Conference in Tifton, Georgia and issued press credentials for conducting interviews with speakers and exhibitors. We set-up our T-CO Mobile Uplink Studio right next to the conference center building and gave live, remote tours of our training program and facility using the Internet. A staff member was present in our training facility in Moultrie, Georgia ready to answer questions and participate in the conversation.

We also had the pleasure of presenting the following video, “Growing Oil”, which showcases the CEHMMC algae growing project. The greeting you see at the start of the video was prerecorded, remotely over the Internet, with Douglas Lynn, the CEO of CEHMMC.

We have divided the coverage of the May 19, 2008 Algae Fuel Summit coverage into 5 parts.

Part one, “Opening Ceremony and Speakers”, featuring Dr. David Bransby, Ron Putt and David James.

We have divided the coverage of the May 19, 2008 Algae Fuel Summit coverage into 5 parts. This is part two. We are releasing this part two prior to releasing part one.

Part two, “Vehicles Running On Green Fuels”, explains which fuels are being used and in which vehicle. There is also a detailed explanation, a post event interview, that explains how the tractor was set up to run multiple fuels(not simultaneously).

Part one will be online in the next 24 hours, and includes all the speakers and their presentations.

May 21, 2008: David James explains how to process algae, into three different types of green fuels, using a gasification process. Green gasoline, green diesel and biodiesel can all be produced from the same algae feedstock.
