High-level findings of the MIT study include: There are abundant supplies of natural gas in the world, and many of these supplies can be developed and produced at relatively low cost. It is clean and flexible.

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.

DOE: $750,000 Non-DOE: $187,500 Total: $937,500 (20% cost share). Success will lead to increased operational reliability of the chemical looping technology with impacts for CO2 capture from solid and gaseous fuel conversion. DOE: $750,000 Non-DOE: $705,000 Total: $1,455,000 (49% cost share). Process Systems Enterprise Limited.

But that might be mitigated, in theory, if space solar displaced fossil fuels and helped the world transition to clean electricity. Space authorities in China aim to put a small test satellite in low Earth orbit (LEO) later this decade. The glamorous vision has inspired numerous futuristic proposals.

Biofuel projects are going to have trouble getting financing from Wall Street this year because all of them have questions about the long term pricing of petroleum; most of them have concerns about the pricing stability of their feedstocks; and many of the cellulosic projects have concerns about the conversion technologies.

The combination of harvesting whole forests and burning long-sequestered carbon sources such as coal or oil has impaired the Earth’s carbon cycle at an increasing pace. The convenience and low cost of this concept alone merit attention. There are trucks and buses being converted commercially today.

Several after-market companies have done PHEV conversions of the Ford Escape hybrid and one has done a retrofit of the F-150 pickup -- see Where PHEVs Are and ICE-Conversions.) The F6 DM uses ferrous batteries, with no lithium content, that BYD says are high-energy density and low cost. Kwong asked.
