2. Why algae?  Much cleaner  More Efficient  Cheaper  Can be mass produced

3. How is algae turned to fuel?  Expression- Oil squeezed out  Ultrasonic Method- creates bubbles, release oil  Solvents  Transesterification- Green Crude to usable substance

4. Benefits to environment  33:1 estimated energy ratio  Can naturally filter water  Can store and Filter CO2  40% more efficient than gas

5. Algae compared to other natural fuel sources Plant Source % Seed oil content Oil Yield (L oil/ha year) Land use (M*M year/kg biodiesel) Biodiesel productivity (kg Biodiesel/Ha year) Corn4417266152 Hemp3336331321 Canola4197412862 Sunflower40107011946 Microalgae70136,9000.1121,104

6. Cost of production  Cost per barrel around $800  Cost per barrel of of crude oil around $90  Must be mass produced  Parity projected 2017

7. Green Powered Car  Requires Little to know modification  One gallon of biodiesel lasts longer  Cleaner emissions
