Bebout and Associates of Savannah and its partners Enegis LLC of Virginia and the University of Nevada at Reno (UNR) recently completed construction of four algae ponds on the Reno campus. The first algae crop is expected to be harvested in October of this year.
The ponds were constructed so that they may be used individually or in tandem, permitting the widest possible range of experimentation with different species/varieties of algae as well as factors which control algae productivity and growth.
Work has already begun on the downstream aspects of algae-to-biodiesel production. Bebout and Enegis are developing several low-energy demand methods for extracting the oil from the algae which will be tested over the next nine to twelve months.
