Growing algae vertically, high yield and low water consumption

All explained in the video.

18 gallon of oils per acre per year if you grow corn. However, using this technique, you can produce more than 20,000 gallon on the same land the same time.

Why produce biofuel from corn and starve the world at the same time?

Diesel Tree

The tropical trees, which have the botanic name copaifera langsdorfii, produce a biofuel that can be tapped, filtered and used to power machinery such as tractors.

It is estimated a one hectare plantation could produce 12,000 litres of fuel a year...


Wow.

And at the end of the tree's life, it can be milled to produce a light brown timber favoured by cabinet makers.

"There's nothing wasted on the tree,"


WOW!
