Iran started investigating the production of algae from 2000. Scientific evidence shows that south Iran is the richest area in the world for cultivating algae, because of high humidity, sunny weather, large unused area and salty water. [2]
In 1942 Harder and Von Witsch were the first to propose that microalgae be grown as a source of lipids for food or fuel. [3] [4] Following World War II, research began in the US, [5] [6] [7] Germany, [8] Japan, [9] England, [10] and Israel [11] on culturing techniques and engineering systems for growing microalgae on larger scales, particularly species in the genus Chlorella.
In 2009, Continental Airlines also tested one of Sapphire Energy's green crude blends.[7] Sapphire Energy provided Green Crude oil for the first flight's using algae derived jet fuel that was refined by UOP into jet fuel for two test flights – Continental Airlines 737-800 and Japan Airlines 747-300.
The Aquatic Species Program launched in 1978 was research program funded by the U.S. DoE, tasked with investigating the use of algae for the production of energy. The program initially focused efforts on the production of hydrogen , however, shifted primary research to studying oil production in 1982.
28.2% (sunlight energy collected by chlorophyll) → 68% is lost in conversion of ATP and NADPH to d-glucose, leaving; 9% (collected as sugar) → 35–40% of sugar is recycled/consumed by the leaf in dark and photo-respiration, leaving; 5.4% net leaf efficiency. Many plants lose much of the remaining energy on growing roots.
The former talk show host has amassed a net worth of $450 million as of May 2024, according to Forbes. While she has made a name for herself between comedy, acting and hosting, DeGeneres has also ...
The energy content of biofuel is the chemical energy contained in a given biofuel, ... Algae: 95,000 10,000 [citation needed] Crop Oil (kg/ha) Oil (L/ha) Oil
Jaggi built the first model of Algae Mobile, a device that converts carbon dioxide emitted from a car into oxygen, [3] in 2008. He got the idea of building the device when he was learning to drive. In 2009, he filed a patent for it, [14] which was approved in 2013. [15] Since 2009, he has made different models of Algae Mobile. [14]
