Most NZ's Biodiesel Could Come From Algae: Aquaflow

17 Dec 2006

A Marlborough-based biofuels company says a new biodiesel derived from algae could cover about 80 percent of the country's demand for the fuel.

The chairman of Aquaflow Bionomic Corporation, Barrie Leay, Aquaflow plans to increase capacity to produce one million litres of bio-diesel from the Marlborough sewage ponds over the next year.





Green Party co-leader Jeanette Fitzsimons says it is likely that New Zealand will end up with bio-refineries to blend minerals to get the required product.

About Oilgae - Oilgae - Oil & Biodiesel from Algae has a focus on biodiesel production from algae while also discussing alternative energy in general. Algae present an exciting possibility as a feedstock for biodiesel, and when you realise that oil was originally formed from algae - among other related plants - you think "Hey! Why not oil again from algae!"

To facilitate exploration of oil production from algae as well as exploration of other alternative energy avenues, Oilgae provides web links, directory, and related resources for algae-based biofuels / biodiesel along with inputs on new inventions, discoveries & breakthroughs in other alternative energy domains such as solar, wind, nuclear, hydro, geothermal, hydrogen & fuel cells, gravitational, geothemal, human-powered, ocean & wave / tidal energy. We hope Oilgae proves to be useful as a research information & inputs resources, and as a source of news & info for business & trade of algal oil, algal fuels & new alternative energy products - specially with regard to new feedstock / feedstocks, production processes and uses, and market info such as price / prices, data & statistics
