Closely held Solazyme Inc. is set to announce shortly that its algae-derived biodiesel meets the American Society for Testing and Materials specification for diesel fuel. This means it can go into existing diesel engines without modifications.
Solazyme says it is the first diesel derived from algae to meet these standards. Before you go out and sell the farm to invest, a couple caveats:
1) ASTM doesn’t police or put their stamp of approval on these claims; it’s up to Solazyme’s competitors to knock it down if untrue;
2) numerous companies are producing oil from algae, but none are doing so economically and at a meaningful scale – yet.
Full report from here
Nature gave us oil from algae; perhaps we should try Nature's way again
