The world needs a radical new solution. Not fossil fuels. Not biodiesel. And not ethanol or any other crop- or sugar-based biofuels that have a direct impact on food prices, the destruction of cropland, fresh water reservoirs and the rainforest.
Picture a domestic economy built on completely renewable, carbon-neutral products produced directly from CO2 and sunlight, efficiently generating a new kind of crude oil from one of the world's oldest, most adaptable plants: algae.
Products and processes in this category:
are made directly from CO2 using photosynthesis
do not result in biodiesel or ethanol
enhance, replace petroleum-based products
are ASTM compliant
do not require food crops or agricultural land
are carbon neutral and renewable
support domestic energy independence
And, to make the market really work, the process must be economically scalable and conform to the existing petroleum infrastructure, from refinement through distribution and the retail supply chain.
