The European Union (EU) market, which is home to about 30% of algae activity, will be limited initially by the industry’s focus on university research, and later by insufficient access to water, land, and nutrient sources. Ultimately, algae potential is greatest in regions where there is an abundance of land, water, and sunlight.

However, consumers’ willingness to purchase flex-fuel vehicles and use E85 instead of lower blends of ethanol in their vehicles will likely depend on the price of ethanol and their attitude toward biofuels. If competition for bioenergy feedstocks intensifies because of low supply, the price will likely increase.

The underlying assumption is that the world will immediately use whatever oil can be pumped from the ground, and that supply is independent of demand—that is, oil exploration investments bear no relation to the current oil price or expectations of future demand. 2010, to above 140 $/bbl in constant 2010 dollars).

The GAO report examined, among other things, (1) the effects of increased biofuels production on US agriculture, environment, and greenhouse gas emissions; (2) federal support for domestic biofuels production; and (3) key challenges in meeting the RFS. However, future movement toward cellulosic feedstocks could reduce some of these effects.

Also, the biobased BDO pathway consumes carbon dioxide (CO 2 ), resulting in a reduction of 70% in CO 2 emissions. Fermentation requires no organic solvent, and the water used is recycled.

Generally, any alternative energy form that can help reduce carbon dioxide (CO2) emissions and limit our reliance on fossil fuels is well-received. It finds that biofuels made with grains and oilseeds show a fall in emissions of 60-80 per cent compared to fossil fuels – well above the 35 per cent objective set by the European Union for 2010.

The production costs for most chemicals via microbial fermentation are currently high compared to oil-derived products primarily because of operating costs associated with feedstock and feedstock processing. One way to mitigate high feedstock cost is to maximize conversion into the bioproduct of interest. Jones, Alan G. Fast, Ellinor D.
