FUEL the Documentary (thefuelfilm) sur Twitter Innovation | Solazyme Some of our oils, and all of our whole algal products, are made from native microalgae strains. These native strains are selected through a rigorous screening process in which we look at thousands of microalgae seeking properties that translate into product benefits for our customers. Other companies have used similar strain-screening processes for decades to make products such as DHA, the Omega-3 algal oil, found in infant formula. Solazyme products made using native microalgae strains include AlgaVia™ Whole Algal Flour and AlgaVia™ Whole Algal Protein food ingredients, and Alguronic Acid®, Solazyme’s original algae-derived ingredient used in Algenist® skin care products. Sometimes our customers request specific oils that cannot be efficiently produced in native algae strains. When we use traditional genetic engineering techniques, we begin with a native strain or one selected through classical strain improvement.

Wind Turbine Manufacturer | Vertical Axis Wind Turbine | Hydro Turbine Manufacturer The FUEL Film: Where We Came From & Where We're Going With Renewable Energy (Review) At tonight's IREO Renewable Energy Awards at the United Nations, film director and author Josh Tickell will be named a United Nations Goodwill Ambassador and accept an award for his work. What work you say? Well, the trailer embedded above for his film FUEL for one thing. The Bush administration's actions pulling the nation into Iraq in the (seldom spoken) name of energy security; the early gung-ho enthusiasm for biofuels (Tickell was an early proponent of vegetable oil biodiesel and you see some of his quest in that area) and the subsequent realization that not all biofuels are exactly environmentally or socially good; and how a balanced and diversified package of renewable energy is the way forward for both the economy and the environment are all covered in a detailed, yet accessible fashion. Some of this may be review from avid TreeHugger readers, but a refresher course is never a bad thing.
Solazyme Solazyme Inc. is a publicly held biotechnology company in the United States. Solazyme uses proprietary technology to transform a range of low-cost plant-based sugars into high-value oils. Their renewable products are designed to replace or enhance oils derived from petroleum, plants and animal fats. Company history[edit] In 2004 and 2005, Solazyme began development of an algal molecular biology platform, and identified and initiated a platform for microalgae-based oil production. Solazyme continued development of the algal molecular biology platform in 2006. Solazyme Soladiesel shown in the company laboratory.

S&TR | July/August 2011: Igniting Our Energy Future MEETING the nation’s—and the world’s—growing demand for electricity is one of the most urgent challenges facing society and the scientific community. Even with improvements in energy efficiency and conservation, a critical need exists to reduce dependence on imported fuels, decrease emissions, and stabilize greenhouse gas concentrations. Safe, environmentally sustainable, commercially attractive sources of baseload electricity are needed with an inherent security of supply and the capacity to meet the level of demand. Renewable sources such as solar, wind, and hydro will play an increasingly important role, but they are not expected to meet the majority of global baseload electricity needs. The main alternative to burning fossil fuels is nuclear energy. The U.S. energy situation becomes particularly acute in the period leading up to the middle part of this century, when the current fleet of nuclear and coal power plants will need to be replaced. —Arnie Heller
Demand Response Cost-Saving Potential (Case Study) Denis Du Bois authors Energy Priorites, a popular blog about energy technology. He recently published a case study of BPA’s ongoing demand response (DR) pilot in Ashland, OR. We wanted you to see it for two important reasons. First, it provides useful information about DR’s potential to forestall the need for new plants and lines. Second, it was written for a lay audience. Many of SGN’s utility readers may soon have the need to explain DR to their own customers. Bonneville Power Administration markets the power generated by 31 hydroelectric stations in the northwestern United States. Some areas of the grid are reaching or exceeding their capacity, not just in BPA territory, but nationwide. One alternative is shifting loads into different times of the day. The energy utility in Ashland Oregon participated in a test of this technology. How peak demand management works BPA recruited 100 residential test customers to participate in the pilot.
