Many companies are funding efforts to reduce capital and operating costs and make algae fuel production commercially viable.

automobile, aircraft, and mechanical energy uses hydrogen as fuel

benefits

algaeHydrogen

Algae is the fastest growing plants in the world.

Oil is 50% of oils weight of algae’s weight

It can be used for any type of vehicles

Also it does not rise the amount of carbon dioxide in the atmosphere

Hydrogen will help move us to a sustainable energy economy

It also can present concerns with the structure of the existing energy economy.

drawbacks

algaeHydrogen

• Produces unstable biodiesel with many polyunsaturated.

• Relatively new technology.

• Biodiesel performs poorly compared to it’s mainstream alternative

It can be very explosive

It only last only 1/5th as long as would be needed to make fuel cells cost-effective.  

government plans for full implementation conversion

algaeHydrogen

The government has invested $78 million dollars in algae bio fuel research

The army invested heavily in the emerging bio fuel also the military has stepped up as a potential customer

They are starting to do make cars with hydrogen as a bio-fuel but they are scared of taking a risking peoples lives

Why not…

algaeHydrogen

Algae is not the #1 source because there's not enough of it

And if were going to use it were going to make more of it and its not going to last as much

Its not the #1 source because its so explosive and can cause a lot of damage

Effects…

algae Hydrogen

Algae releases chemicals when it gets hotter and those chemicals are released into the air and that can cause

The effects hydrogen has that its very dangerous
