Argonne LCA finds renewable diesel from algae fractionation has 63-68% lower GHG than petroleum diesel

Green Car Congress

OCTOBER 22, 2016

In some algal biofuel production methods, lipids are extracted from algae and converted to renewable diesel, while the non-lipid components of the algae are converted to biogas. In the algae fractionation process, algal biomass is separated into carbohydrate, lipid, and protein-rich fractions that can be converted into fuels and co-products.

As another panelist pointed out, “ The New York Times is well-equipped to write the article about how Stimulus Funds have been wasted ”. Attendees believe that renewable energy needs two elements to be successful: technical progress leading to lower costs and a price on carbon. Costs are also falling due to classic economics.

“Car scrapping initiatives are often mistakenly labelled as green because they subsidise the purchase of cars that are usually, more fuel-efficient than those they replace, but the schemes are by their nature wasteful and routinely fail to take into consideration the amount of energy required to build a vehicle in the first place.”.
