Increasing Algae Biofuel Advocacy

A good way to bring certain environmentalists and your typical corn ethanol supporters over into the algae biofuel camp is to make a good apples-to-apples comparison. The way you do this is by saying something like "Every 100 gallons of algae biofuel produced is the equivalent to planting x amount of trees" because it is removing that CO2 from the atmosphere. On another note, it appears that Solazyme is the clear leader in the algae biofuel industry. They have infinite advantages over first  and second generation biofuels, and over the rest of the third generation advanced biofuels such as

• It can be grown 24/7
• They grow it vertically in enormous containers which can hold tens of thousands of gallons of algae.
• It has a very high yield content
• It has the best emissions data so far, with reductions in diesel emissions by 85-93%.
