Got Gas? Alternative Energy Biofuels Part 1: Biofuels Carlin H Emerson MS

How do we fuel our cars, trucks, buses, airplanes, trains, and boats ? Gasoline Diesel Coal

... Fossil Fuel

What’s wrong with the fuel we use today? (Greenhouse gases) - Carbon dioxide, CO 2 - Methane, CH 4 - Nitrous oxide, N 2 O - Ozone, O 3

Going Green... Literally

What is Algae? chlamydomonas reinhardtii Chlamy : Is a single celled green alga. Have chloroplasts with chlorophyll Can grow in both light AND dark places. Mostly grow in water Can swim with arms called flagellas Can be engineered to produce A LOT of oil Kind of a plant, kind of not Pronounce : Cla-mid-oh-moan-us Rine-heart-ee-i

How can algae be fuel ? Biofuel ? Acetate (CO 2 ) Nutrients fats=oil Acetate (CO 2 ) Nutrients Sugars O2O2 OR Respiration CO 2 = Algae food factory
