Procurement leaders should not only evaluate the vehicle’s sticker price, but also take lifetime fuel costs (for the electricity used), insurance, maintenance, and repairs into account. Accounting teams must consider the total cost of ownership (TCO) of vehicle operations to accurately determine the value of these assets.

Specifically, low cost and energy-efficient processes are sought that can be demonstrated and validated under field conditions to meet needs of the nascent algal biomass industry. Algae cultures tend to be relatively dilute, and the energy requirement to remove water from the cultures can be a significant portion of the energy balance.

At present, PHEV technology alone is equipped to improve the current electric grid. The car can refuel during periods of low demand on the grid, and if equipped with a bi-directional charger, can actually replenish the grid with excess energy gleaned from a renewable resource.
