Oil from algae in Nevada

Infinifuel biodiesel plant in Wabuska uses geothermal energy and crops to create alternative energy

Karen Woodmansee, Nevada Appeal Staff Writer, May 13, 2007

Claude Sapp, principal for Infinifuel Biodiesel is now working to turn the oldest geothermal plant in Nevada into a biodiesel processing facility, where camelina oil seed and even algae is becoming diesel fuel. Sapp said any plant that produces high oil yields can someday power a vehicle.

He expects to have the first crop available in July, when a crop of camelina oil seed will be harvested and sent to a Lovelock plant to be crushed. Eventually, he hopes to have the plant ready to grow its own algae, which he said can be harvested monthly.
