Algaecake Technologies is actively forming government and corporate relations in the fossil fuels industry to
improve existing Carbon Capture and Storage technology using the natural capital of CO2 to grow highly profitable algae while
converting harmful greenhouse emissions into oxygen and hydrocarbons.

Our company uses CO2 emissions to cultivate algae for producing oil and
feedstock to be refined into biodiesel fuel and other valuable consumer products.
Algae cake is a very valuable, hi-protein bi-product of our system that will be allocated
to the production of nutritional food additives, vitamin supplements, animal / fish feed
and other consumer products.

Algaecake Technologies answers today’s challenges of producing cost effective bio fuels from algae cultivation.
Considering our technical advantages, our bioreactors can be expected to consume 4 times more co2 per acre and a 50% higher
yield in comparison to reports of existing commercial scale algae cultivation systems.

Green Star President Discussing Algae Biodiesel and Cellulosic Ethanol
as reported by www.newsobserver.com 3/08/08, Joseph LaStella, President of Green Star Products, will present the new report, “Algae to Biodiesel and Cellulosic Ethanol” during the Big Sky Coalition Biofuel Symposium. One key point of the report is that agricultural crops like soy and corn are only capable of producing about 1oo gallons of oil per acre in one year. Microalgae, however can produce 4,000 gallons per acre.
Congress Must Support Sustainable Biofuels
as reported by www.biodieselmagazine.com 3/07/08, fears of global warming, peak oil, geopolitical instability, and crude oil instability have forced governments to set up renewable energy alternatives on the fly. In order to be successful, Congress must support sustained incentives for biofuel producers, fund sustainable feedstock research and development, provide grants and loan guarantees to stabilize biofuel industry growth, and market incentives to fuel suppliers to add biodiesel distribution infrastructure.
Efforts to identify and develop more sustainable feedstocks (e.g., algae, jatropha, etc.) show great promise but require time and the application of resources to become available.
Are Switchgrass and Algae the Best Biofuel Sources?
as reported by www.londontopic.ca 3/4/08, switchgrass and algae have the potential to be the biggest sources for fuel in the future. A recent study from the journal Proceedings found that switchgrass can produce 500% more renewable energy than what is required to grow and process it. In order for biofuels to be successful, producers must consider the geographic location and social/environmental factors.
Two Studies Showing Biofuels That Remove Forests and Grasslands to Plant Corn or Palm Oil Crops Increase Greenhouse Gases
as reported by www.tgdaily.com 2/23/08, Science magazine published two studies that claim biofuels increase greenhouse gases in earth’s atmosphere.
The research shows that removing forests and grasslands to plant corn or palm oil crops may increase the CO2 levels by 50% in the
next thirty years.
Actually, This artical mentions nothing about algae biofuels. Our algae is grown in photo bioreactors above the ground. Our system
does not compete with soy, corn or palm oil crops and consumes twice as much co2.

University of Minnesota Lab Studying Algae Biodiesel
as reported by www.TechNewsWorld.com 12/31/07, The green slime that grows on the surfaces of lakes and ponds could be used as a renewable source of oil, researchers say. Currently, scientists are working on ways to reduce the cost of processing algae for use as energy. One added benefit: As it grows, algae gobbles up certain pollutants and treats sewage. The DoD is particularly interested in the possibilities.
