Why algae?  Algae grow ten times faster than standard plants.  They only require water, carbon dioxide (CO2) and sunlight to flourish.  Algae biomass cultivation confers four important potential benefits that other sources do not have.  First, algae biomass can be produced at extremely high volumes, and this biomass can yield a much higher percentage of oil than other sources.  Second, algal oil has limited market competition.  Third, algae can be cultivated on marginal land, fresh water, sea water and even waste water.  Fourth, innovations in algae production allow it to become more productive while consuming resources that would otherwise be considered waste.

Biodiesel is a biofuel consisting of monoalkyl esters that are derived from organic oils, plant or animal, through the process of transesterification.  Unlike petroleum fuels, the relative simplicity of biodiesel manufacture makes its production scalable.
