Posted on Wednesday, March 18, 2009 posted by posted by Mak @ 9:13 PM

Every now and then we hear about biodiesels, biouels,and more about these stuff. Recently it has been found that mustard and camelina have been found to be a major source of oil used for biodiesel production. University in chile has found that camelina and mustard are able to produce 25 and 40 percent oil and they have a very good potential for being used in biodiesels. Furthermore camelina is able to be grown in harsh conditions and requires very little hybridization. This provides a breakthrough in the field of biodiesels and biofuel production. More and more work is being carried on in this field at the moment.

  In the beginning, there were algae,
but there was no oil Then, from algae came oil.
Now, the algae are still there, but oil is fast depleting
In future, there will be no oil, but there will still be algae  
So, doesn't it make sense to explore if we can again get oil from algae?
This is what we try to do at Oilgae.com - explore the potential of getting oil from algae
