Biodiesel Algae Shows Pond Scum Can Rise To The Top

As more owners of diesel powered cars, SUVs and trucks are setting up their own biodiesel kits at home, the source of their fuel may become more scarce. On the individual level, the food versus fuel debate that has kept many governments from fully endorsing biodiesel alternatives isn’t the number one issue. More people are stopped by not knowing how to approach the restaurant owners who hold the key supply chain key in the right way to secure a steady waste vegetable oil source.

Second on the list of concerns is how to budget the time needed to produce a steady supply of fuel.  Making biodiesel is a lengthy process of cleaning and refining that can require days spent filtering, then waiting before filtering, cleaning and testing again.  Trying to rush the process, or failing to test the quality of your output could be very dangerous. At the least, it could harm your engine and performance.

Hope for those looking for a cleaner, faster, more stable home production process is at hand.  It comes in the form of biodiesel algae, the very pond scum that many people have been trying to keep out of their home aquariums and farm ponds for years.

Algae is the fastest growing organism on earth.  It also happens to be half lipid fat; just the right kind of fat needed to make biodiesel.  Watch this brief video to find out why at home biodiesel producers using algae are so much further along than large commercial producers.
