Innovative Algae Energy Production System

A breakthrough algae production system has been invented by XL Renewables, Inc. The approach, called Simgae(TM) (for simple algae), utilizes common agriculture and irrigation components to produce algae at a fraction of the cost of competing systems. At 1/2 – 1/16th the capital cost, profitable oil production costs at $0.08 – $0.12/pound, and low operations and maintenance requirements, the resulting system will offer the biofuels industry access to cheap and readily available oils and starches for the production of biodiesel, ethanol, and other renewable fuels. Diversified Energy Corporation has formed a partnership and licensing arrangement for this patent pending algae production system breakthrough. Under an exclusive worldwide license, Diversified Energy will provide systems engineering and project management to commercialize the technology. Algae has received substantial attention as a high-promise source of biofuel oils to alleviate the supply shortages and high prices of traditional feedstock sources. Since the feedstock inputs can contribute 60 – 80% of the production cost of biofuel, keeping the feedstock cheap and readily available is critical to the renewable fuels industry. Algae has been shown to produce 30X more oil and require 1/100th the water per acre when compared to traditional crops. In addition, the carbohydrate and […]
