A New Zealand company has developed a means of turning algae that grow in sewage ponds into crude oil.
Solray Energy director Chris Bathurst said his company took up the challenge in about 2003 and had now patented a machine which made it economic. Mr Bathurst, whose Christchurch operation has joined forces with an engineering firm in Invercargill in the venture, said there was no shortage of algae to work with, but the challenge was to build machines that could convert large quantities of them...
Well, not a lot of details to go by, and not entirely clear what sort of machine he is talking about, is it a photobioreactor or something else...will have to await further news...
Solray is not the first NZ company to work on oil from algae, that honour of course goes to Aquaflow Bionomic
