The process of producing a fuel from plant and animal oils is a relatively simple process that has been proven over many years. The growing of Algae Biofuel is a well known process and the production of more or less oil is a function of the selection and feeding of the specific strain of algae.

Algae Biofuel is primarily used in the process of producing biodiesel fuel. Transesterification, the chemical process of making biodiesel, is also a relatively simple and well understood process. The process is stable and not nearly as hazardous as the production of petro-diesel. The production process also produces little or no noxious gasses to pollute the air around the refinery.

EWBioFuel & ReEnergy (I) Pvt. Ltd. strongly believe that Jatropha plantation and Algae production can complement each other’s development and growth. Company is leveraging from the lifecycle of Jatropha to produce Algae and Algae for Jatropha plantation, both the products finally leading to the Commercial Biofuel production.

The Finished product, Biodiesel, is an environmentally friendly, renewable fuel with little or no noxious gas release during the process of combustion. The production of biodiesel requires one eighth of the energy required to produce ethanol and is usable in its undiluted state. The demand for biodiesel for use in all sectors now serviced by petro-diesel is projected to grow at an exponential rate.

The other available feedstock’s for use in the Biodiesel production process have been unable to meet the increasing demand while retaining a price that allows the biodiesel manufacturers to operate profitably. Algae Oil can be produced at rates of up to 500 times the production rate per acre of any other source of vegetable oil. Algae Oil is a potential answer to the success of renewable energy. The production of Algae Oil is almost nonexistent in the India at this point in time, making this an extremely curtail venture for EWBioFuel & ReEnergy (I) Pvt. Ltd..

Advantages of Algae Biofuel as a Feedstock:

Current feedstock production rates for "standing crops" such as Soy Beans, Camelina, Rape Seed, and Jatropha are in the 200 to 400 gallon per acre per year range. Palm Oil is a little better with 400 to 700 gallons per acre per year. These productions rates fall far short of the production rates per acre of Algae which is currently delivering up to 50,000 gallons of oil per acre per year from open pond systems.

The most recent developments in Algae Oil production systems using genetically engineered Algae strains indicate that production rates with "closed photo bio reactors" will exceed 100,000 gallons of Algae Oil per acre per year. These and other factors, such as the market for biodiesel in non-automotive areas, which include home heating oil and power generating plant fuels, have led to the decision to pursue the production of Algae Oil to be sold as a feedstock for the biodiesel industry.
