Rep. Ed Markey Checks Out Aurora’s Algae Fuel
Mon Aug 17, 2009 12:00am EDT Email | Print | Share| Reprints | Single Page[-] Text [+]
Featured Broker sponsored link
By Katie Fehrenbacher - Earth2Tech
Congressman Edward Markey (D-Mass.), chair of the committee on Energy Independence and Global Warming and champion of the Waxman-Markey climate change bill that recently passed the House and is making its way through the Senate, has taken an interest in algae fuel. Late afternoon on Sunday, Markey got a tour of Alameda, Calif.-based Aurora Biofuels’ labs, where the startup is using biotechnology to create algae strains, which it says can produce biofuel for a low cost and with low carbon emissions. Markey told us after his tour in the lobby of the Aurora headquarters that “if properly harnessed,” algae could play a key role in fighting climate change, and that Aurora’s technology was “very exciting.”
Now, Markey isn’t exactly an algae fuel expert, so the Aurora endorsement should be taken with a grain of salt, but it shows just how prominent the fuel has become, with increasing attention from Capitol Hill. Now that the large oil firms, including both ExxonMobil and BP, have started to take algae fuel seriously (Exxon with one of the biggest algae fuel deals yet, including more than $600 million for an algae biofuels development program with Craig Venter’s Synthetic Genomics) the federal government can feel more comfortable trusting that this technology could offer promise for next-generation biofuels.
Markey’s climate change bill doesn’t necessarily have any specifics for the algae fuel crew, but the cap-and-trade portion would do more than enough by putting a price on carbon. Algae, which absorbs carbon in the growth process, could make money by recycling captured carbon, in addition to selling fuel and algae byproducts. “With a little bit of luck, we’ll pass this legislation later this year and create a marketplace” for technologies like this, Markey said.
For entrepreneurs who are toiling in the labs over algae fuel and other clean technologies, Washington, D.C., can oftentimes feel far away, in both geography and culture. When I asked Markey if he had any words for the innovators building these technologies in labs across the country, he said: “Get ready…Our legislation will unleash more than a trillion dollars’ worth of private sector investment,” which he said will create an opportunity for entrepreneurs to once again transform the world in much the same way that entrepreneurs did for the information technology boom.

Algae Oil Penny Stocks Set to Soar
Jan 20th, 2009 | By Greg Guenthner | Category: Featured, Penny stocks, Technology
Oil is all over the place. It’ll get crushed one day and then bounce right back into the $40s the next. And while the volatility in the oil market probably won’t change anytime soon, thanks to an uncertain economy, there is something distinctly different about the way we’re reacting to the comeback of cheap gas.
No, the green movement won’t just go away. Consumers continue to demand more earth-friendly products. A sense of urgency over climate change and OPEC’s stranglehold over our oil supply continues. We continue to seek alternatives. But alternative energy’s next wave needs to prove it can sustain once the hype dies down.
Take ethanol. At first glance, 2006 looked like a great year to be in the ethanol business. Shares of Pacific Ethanol were on fire, shattering the $20 mark by the end of March. By May, shares broke $40. Bill Gates’ millions helped jump-start the stock, and new government mandates all but ensured the success of the corn-to-fuel business.
As time would soon tell, the spring of 2006 proved to be a great time to sell your ethanol holdings. Pacific Ethanol’s light is not shining quite as brightly as it once was. The stock is more than 98% off its 2006 high, and Gates is steadily unwinding his stake in the company.
Pacific has been plagued with problems recently. The company’s most recent annual report is chock-full of problems, including violations of some debt covenants and other shenanigans involving the company’s line of credit (You can read a good synopsis here.)
But the bigger problem is that you can’t sell ethanol for more than it costs to make it. One would think that would kill this business off entirely. But thanks to inexplicable government support and backward-thinking energy legislation, ethanol production will most likely continue despite the tough lessons we’ve learned.
So the big question remains — can someone successfully develop an alternative energy source that will actually make money?
Do the Math: 20,000 > 28
When you look at the numbers, one particular alternative energy source makes a whole lot of sense: algae. One acre of corn gives you 28 gallons of oil in a year. An acre of algae can yield anywhere between 20,000-100,000 gallons of oil per year. No wonder the updated 2007 Energy Independence and Security Act supports extracting fuels from algae.
While the algae fuel field is not completely crowded, multiple players are developing, harvesting and extracting systems that could one day be industry-standard designs. In as little as three years, we could see a powerful new energy industry.
Chevron and Shell have started exploring the possibilities of algae. There are also a few small companies that are working on the technology. Below are three penny stocks in the algae fuel business. All of these stocks have a market cap under $2 million, a share price under 10 cents, and can be found on the Pink Sheets and Over-the-Counter Bulletin Board:
GreenShift Corporation (OTC: GERS)
Nanoforce Inc. (PINK: NNFC)
PetroSun Inc. (PINK: PSUD)
With the coming transition to alternative fuels, early investors in algae oil stand to claim some huge gains if this technology takes off…
Best,

Algae Biofuel Sustainable Markets: Stocks to Benefit 15 comments
by: James Rickman July 19, 2009 | about: BA / BJ / BP / COP / CVX / F / GE / KR / PALG.OB / SAI / TM / WMT / XOM
James Rickman's articles on Seeking Alpha
Visit: Sustainable Virtual BiZ, Inc.
ExxonMobil (XOM) has partnered with biotech company Synthetic Genomics Inc. (SGI) to research and develop next generation biofuels from photosynthetic algae.
ExxonMobil Research and Engineering Company has entered into a research and development alliance with SGI, a privately held company focused on developing genomic-driven solutions and founded by genome pioneer, Dr. J. Craig Venter, to develop advanced biofuels from photosynthetic algae that are compatible with today’s gasoline and diesel fuels. The initiative would require ExxonMobil to spend more than $600 million, including $300 million in internal costs and potentially more than $300 million to SGI.
Thus far the oil supermajor has invested more than $1.5 billion over the past five years on activities that improve energy efficiency and reduce greenhouse gas emissions including technologies to improve automobile efficiency like tire liners, advanced fuel-economy engine oil, light-weight automobile plastics, and an improved lithium battery separator film for hybrid electric cars.
The algae sector is getting more attention recently as a top contender to what is now commonly referred to as a ‘third-generation’ biofuel. The reasoning could lie in the fact that previously, very little information was provided on algae used as a biofuel feedstock. As research increases, so does the level of interest and investment.
Several large energy companies like Boeing (BA), Shell (RBS.A) , ConocoPhillips (COP) , BP PLC (BP) and Chevron (CVX) are also investing in algae biofuels including alternative jet fuels.
There are now three publicly traded "Algae Biofuel" companies. PetroSun (PSUD.PK) and more recently OriginOil (OOIL.OB) and PetroAlgae, (PALG.OB) have also gone public. PetroAlgae is also the industry high flyer, and is doing some interesting work growing duckweed.
Additionally, the U.S. DARPA has provided $35 million to San Diego-based companies SAIC (SAI) and General Atomics to pursue the creation of algae-based jet fuel. You might also find interesting updates in my recent article; "Sustainable Bio-Fuel Aviation Performs Well".
We have seen the implementation of a new technology, BioGauge™, developed by International Energy, Inc. The technology is able to quickly determine the accumulation of bio-oil and other valuable compounds in microalgae, which is predicted to catapult the importance of algae in the biofuels commercial sector.
US-based bioenergy company OriginOil announced in May that it developed an extraction method to help transform algae into a competitive transport fuel. The company plans to commercialize the patent-pending solution for use by others in the algae industry.
In addition, cities are even jumping on board to utilize algae in order to meet energy demands. Electricity sources in Venice, Italy will be diversified by using algae in order to produce 50% of the city’s electricity needs. The city – famous for its canals – will turn its algae problem into a solution by utilizing the third generation biofuel by producing electricity from two types of algae that can be found regularly growing over the seaport and clinging to ships.
Other developments include U.S. retailers such as grocery-store chain; The Kroger Co. (KR), discount retailers Wal-Mart Stores Inc. (WMT) and warehouse store BJ’s Wholesale Club Inc. (BJ) are increasingly selling blended discount gas to draw customer traffic and boost sales in other departments.
Keep an eye on India's manufacturing of Jatropha blended biofuels; the wonder plant produces seeds with an oil content of 37%. The oil can be combusted as fuel without being refined. It burns with clear smoke-free flame, tested successfully as fuel for simple diesel engine. The by-products are press cake a good organic fertilizer, oil contains also insecticide.
Few advantages of Jatropha are:
Jatropha is adapted to a wide range of climates and soils.
It can grow almost on any type of soil whether gravelly, sandy or saline and thrives even on the poorest stony soils and rock crevices.
It is a drought resistant perennial living up to 50 years.
It is significant to point out that, the non-edible vegetable oil of Jatropha curcas has the requisite potential of providing a promising and commercially viable alternative to diesel oil since it has desirable physicochemical and performance characteristics comparable to diesel. Cars can be run with Jatropha curcas without requiring much change in design.

BEHL BioCentric Energy Investor & Shareholder Update
SAN JUAN CAPISTRANO, CA -- (Marketwire) -- 08/17/09 -- BioCentric Energy Holdings, Inc.
(PINKSHEETS: BEHL) today announced the following shareholder information updates:
BioCentric President Dennis Fisher today commented, "BioCentric has achieved tremendous growth over the past few months, and is in the midst of finalizing multiple licensing contracts along with the production of alternative fuels and animal nutritional food supplements at the San Juan Capistrano, facility. In an effort to keep both Investors and shareholders abreast of the current status, I am issuing this brief update of the current status of BioCentric's activity and operations."
CORPORATE FACILITY:
The company has signed an LOI and hired a MIA to fully valuate the San Juan Capistrano facility, at a significant discount to the original purchase price of the property. Upon completion of the purchase, the company will be restructuring the facility to include administrative offices, on site Laboratory for extensive testing, research and development of multiple ALGAE strains for development of Alternative clean burning fuel products, animal food supplements, and nutritional products supplements. The company has purchased several types of processing and refinery equipment for the production of alternative fuels and the equipment is expected to arrive at the facility later this week.
LICENSING:
Company COO Dennis Shen is currently in Asia, in the process of finalizing negotiations with a large Chinese company for the exclusive Chinese licensing rights of the company's closed loop Photobioreactor system.
Whilst in China Dennis Shen secured the manufacturing contract for the company's patent pending 180 degree curve component of the closed loop system. Dennis Shen will be returning to the USA at the end of the month.
Earlier this month a senior Korean official visited the company's facility in California with a view to licensing the closed loop system for exclusive use in Korea. The negotiations are currently under way for the exclusive Korean license.
The company has an LOI in place from a large Las Vegas company, for the license and manufacturing of a multiple acre system in the Las Vegas area for the production of Bio-Diesel for the company's fleet of commercial vehicles and heavy plant equipment.
Several LOIs for closed loop system territory licenses are on file and in the process of being finalized which will result in revenues, construction profits and residual income for the company during the 3rd Quarter.
BioCentric expects to have a signed agreement later this week with a large Publicly Traded southern California development company for the design, construction and funding of BioCentric's licensed closed loop systems worldwide.
PRODUCTION UPDATES:
The company earlier this week started harvesting the ALGAE from the 1800 square feet onsite system which significantly exceeded production and quality expectations, and with the arrival of the processing equipment Bio-Diesel fuel production will begin later this week along with the production of animal nutritional products ready for distribution. Samples of the animal food supplements have been submitted to a professional laboratory for analysis and reports which will enable the company to supply the final products to retail animal supply stores across the USA.
The growth pattern was enhanced by a nutritional injection into the ALGAE last week which has improved both production times and quality and now requiring the system to be in a constant harvesting mode.
The company is also avidly pursuing raw land for the creation of ALGAE farms in the San Juan Capistrano region to further expand the ALGAE production outputs for both alternative fuels and nutritional supplements.
BROADCAST:
Dennis Fisher conducted an interview on Public Radio earlier this week on the uses and applications of ALGAE using the closed loop system, this broadcast can be heard on the following link: http://diegoradio.com/wp-content/uploads/08-11-09.mp3
INVESTOR INTERESTS:
The company has been reported on the NASDAQ short list report for six straight days now, which confirms the significant short position in the company's tradable stock. Legal Council has been retained for investigation and recourse to pursue the parties involved and ensure the regulatory authorities pursue the parties involved.
The company is still moving forward with its plans to advance the company to the Bulletin Board emerging as a fully reporting entity in the very near future.

NASA Grows Algae for Biofuel, Treats Waste
Irene Klotz, Discovery News Print Email ShareThisYahoo! Buzz Facebook StumbleUpon Digg del.icio.us MySpace
The Greenest Energy? | Discovery News Video May 14, 2009 -- Take some NASA-developed plastic membranes, add algae and municipal waste water and float it out to sea. What have you got? An environmentally friendly alternative to U.S. dependence on foreign oil, says one NASA scientist.
Jonathan Trent, a researcher at NASA's Ames Research Center in Moffett Field, Calif., sees algae farmed at sea as a win-win-win scenario: The plants are oil-rich and easy to grow; sea-based nurseries leave land free for food production; and the process should take out more carbon from the atmosphere than what it puts in.
As an added bonus, the system purifies waste water now being pumped into the ocean.
"What we're doing is closing the loop in our own spaceship Earth environment," Trent told Discovery News. "The only catch is no one's ever done this before."

Algae has become one of the hotter commodities in the quest for fossil fuel alternatives, said Michael Frohlich, a spokesman for the National Biodiesel Board, a Missouri-based trade organization.
Traditionally, algae is grown outdoors in large tanks of moving water, or inside bioreactors. The plants produce far more oil per acre than other crops, such as soybeans. Algae farming does, however, have a few technical hurdles to overcome, such as how to efficiently drain the water in which the algae grows, added Biodiesel Board technical adviser Alan Weber.
Trent's plan is to grow freshwater algae in nutrient-rich waste water inside semi-permeable plastic membranes. The natural salinity of the ocean will draw the freshwater out, retaining the plants and nutrients. The membranes prevent saltwater from getting inside and killing the plants, while ocean waves keep the algae mixed and healthy. The process treats the sewage water, which is then released into the ocean, and after the algae is harvested, the plastic bags can be recycled.
The concept already has been demonstrated in laboratories, in part supported by $400,000 from Google earmarked for NASA sustainable energy projects. This week, the city of Santa Cruz expressed support for letting its municipal waste water be used in a pilot demonstration project in the Pacific Ocean, Trent said. The project also is under consideration for an $800,000 alternative energy grant from the state of California.
"The big problem is going to be scaling it up ... and figuring out how to deal with storms at sea," Trent said.
"But this country is good at engineering things," he added. "To quote Harry Truman, 'There's no limit to what you can accomplish if you don't care who gets the credit.'"
An offshore algae farm could have some serious environmental issues, points out Carmela Cuomo, a marine scientist at the University of New Haven in Connecticut who is researching algae strains for biofuel use.
"I'm not knocking the idea, but I'd want to know a lot more about it," she told Discovery News.
Cuomo said waste water that has been treated enough to be dumped into the ocean probably wouldn't have enough nutrients for algae to thrive, and untreated waste water could pose a threat if the membrane should rip. She also pointed out that the algae farms would have to be fairly close to the ocean's surface for sunlight to penetrate, which could be an issue for boaters.
The main problem with algae, whether grown on land or sea, is how to get enough of it. "To be able to replace a Shell (Oil Co.), you're going to need a lot of algae."

In one fascinating study, they found that fish kept in darkened aquariums and fed on trimmed raw veal muscle had the same amount of vitamin D as free-swimming fish exposed to sunlight. So how the fish obtain vitamin D remains a mystery. Perhaps they are able to extract it from microscopic plankton and algae.
It is an interesting concept.
There are two common strategies of producing liquid and gaseous agrofuels. One is to grow crops high in sugar (sugar cane, sugar beet, and sweet sorghum) or starch (corn/maize), and then use yeast fermentation to produce ethyl alcohol (ethanol). The second is to grow plants that contain high amounts of vegetable oil, such as oil palm, soybean, algae, jatropha, or pongamia pinnata.
