About Us
What We Do
Algae is the 3rd generation of Biofuel and is considered highly desirable for many factors. There is no need to rely on waste materials or be subjected to increased costs to create Biofuel from stocks, husks, and other crop products. Algae grows expeditiously faster and is converted into Biofuel substantially quicker than generation one Biofuel. Additionally, we can produce a significantly larger scale, provide a rapid turnaround time, and can be produced in or outdoors. We are scaled for commercial sales. Our Biofuel is produced in a concentrated format, allowing our Biofuel to be transported at a fraction of the cost of other Biofuel companies.

Generation-One
First-Generation Biofuels are produced directly from food crops by abstracting the oils for use in biodiesel or by producing bioethanol through fermentation. Crops such as wheat and sugar are the most widely used feedstock for bioethanol, while oil seed rape has proved a very effective crop for use in biodiesel. However, first-generation biofuels have several associated problems. First, there is much debate over their benefit in reducing greenhouse gas and co2 emissions. Some biofuels can produce negative Net energy gains, releasing more carbon in their production than their feedstock capture in their growth. However, first-generation biofuels' fuel vs. food is the most contentious issue. As most biofuels are produced directly from food crops, the rise in demand for biofuels has led to an increase in the volumes of crops being diverted away from the global food market. This has been blamed for the worldwide rise in food prices over the last couple of years.

Generation-Two
Second-Generation biofuels have been developed to overcome the limitations of first-generation biofuels. They are produced from nonfood crops such as wood, organic waste, food crop waste, and specific biomass crops, therefore eliminating the main problem with first-generation biofuels[1]. Second Generation biofuels are also aimed at being more cost-competitive in relation to existing fossil fuels[2]. Life cycle assessments of second-generation biofuels have also indicated that they will increase 'net energy gains,' overcoming another of the main limitations of first-generation biofuels.

Generation-Three
Third-generation biofuels are also known as "algae fuel" or "oilage" since they are produced from the algae. Algae leads to the production of all types of Biofuels, such as biodiesel, gasoline, butanol, propanol, and ethanol, with a high yield, approximately ten times higher than the second-generation Biofuel. Cultivation of third-generation biofuel biomass also assists in maintaining environmental balance by consuming the CO2 present in the atmosphere.
Generation-Four
Fourth Generation Biofuels are aimed at not only producing sustainable energy but also a way of capturing and storing co2. Biomass materials, which have absorbed co2 while growing, are converted into fuel using the same processes as second-generation biofuels. However, this process differs from second and third-generation production as at all stages of production, the carbon dioxide is captured using methods such as oxy-fuel combustion[4]. The carbon dioxide can then be geosequestered by storing it in old oil and gas fields or saline aquifers. This carbon capture makes fourth-generation biofuel production carbon-negative rather than simply carbon neutral, as it 'locks' away more carbon than it produces. This system captures and stores carbon dioxide from the atmosphere and reduces co2 emissions by replacing fossil fuels.

The U.S. Energy Information Administration (EIA) Information
The U.S. Energy Information Administration (EIA) collects, analyzes, and disseminates independent and impartial energy information to promote sound policymaking, efficient markets, and public understanding of energy and its interaction with the economy and the environment.
The U.S. Energy Information Administration (EIA) publishes data on four major categories of biofuels that qualify for use in the federal RFS Program:1
•Ethanol
is an alcohol fuel that is blended with petroleum gasoline for use in vehicles and accounted for the largest share of U.S. biofuel production (85%) and consumption (82%) in 2021.
•Biodiesel
a biofuel that is usually blended with petroleum diesel for consumption and accounts for the second-largest share of U.S. biofuel production (11%) and consumption (12%) in 2021.
•Renewable diesel
a fuel chemically similar to petroleum diesel fuel for use as a drop-in fuel or a petroleum diesel blend with small but growing U.S. production and consumption. Renewable diesel's percentage shares of total U.S. biofuels production and consumption were about 3% and 5% respectively in 2021.
Other Biofuels
Other Biofuels include renewable heating oil, renewable jet fuel (sustainable aviation fuel, alternative jet fuel, biojet), renewable naphtha, renewable gasoline, and other emerging biofuels that are in various stages of development and commercialization.
- Biobutanol
a 4-carbon alcohol (butyl alcohol), is produced from the same feedstocks as ethanol, including corn grain and other biomass. The term biobutanol refers to butanol made from biomass feedstocks. The benefits of biobutanol, when compared with ethanol, are that biobutanol is immiscible in water, has a higher energy content, and has a lower Reid vapor pressure. Under the Renewable Fuel Standard, corn grain butanol meets the renewable fuel 20% greenhouse gas emission reduction threshold.
- Dimethyl Ether
a fuel chemically similar to petroleum diesel fuel for use as a drop-in fuel or a petroleum diesel blend with small but growing U.S. production and consumption. Renewable diesel's percentage shares of total U.S. biofuels production and consumption were about 3% and 5% respectively in 2021.
- Methanol
Methanol (CH3OH), also known as wood alcohol, is considered an alternative fuel under the Energy Policy Act of 1992. As an engine fuel, methanol has chemical and physical fuel properties similar to ethanol. Methanol was used in the 1990s but is no longer in use or being developed as a commercial transportation fuel.
- Renewable Hydrocarbon Biofuels
a 4-carbon alcohol (butyl alcohol), is produced from the same feedstocks as ethanol, including corn grain and other biomass. The term biobutanol refers to butanol made from biomass feedstocks. The benefits of biobutanol, when compared with ethanol, are that biobutanol is immiscible in water, has a higher energy content, and has a lower Reid vapor pressure. Under the Renewable Fuel Standard, corn grain butanol meets the renewable fuel 20% greenhouse gas emission reduction threshold.
Types of renewable hydrocarbon biofuels include:
• Renewable diesel
Renewable diesel—Renewable diesel is a biomass-derived transportation fuel suitable for use in diesel engines. It meets the ASTM D975 specification for petroleum in the United States and EN 590 in Europe. It is a commercial fuel produced in the United States and imported from Asia. Five plants produce renewable diesel in the United States, with a combined capacity of over 590 million gallons per year.
• Sustainable aviation fuel (SAF)
Sustainable aviation fuel (SAF)—SAF is a fuel derived from renewable resources that enables a reduction in net life cycle carbon dioxide emissions compared to conventional fuels. SAF is the preferred, now commonly used term for non-petroleum synthesized jet fuel components produced to the definitions in ASTM D7566. When SAF is blended with conventional jet fuel, it meets ASTM D1655, which allows it to be used in existing aircraft and infrastructure. SAF is commercially available in limited quantities and has been in use at Los Angeles International Airport since 2016 and in late 2020 at San Francisco International Airport. One domestic SAF production facility operates in Los Angeles and several are under construction or planned, and imports from an international producer began in late 2020. EIA does not report SAF production; however, EPA reports RFS RIN data, which indicate that the United States consumed 4.6 million gallons in 2020.
Top 10 Uses for Biofuel
Transportation
More than 30% of the energy consumed in the United States is used for vehicle transportation. Across the globe, transport takes accounts for 24% of energy and more than 60% of absorbed oil.
This means that over a third of the oil is used to operate vehicles. The main problem with alternatives is that solar, wind, and other alternative power are not practical for transportation. Moreover, experts believe that efficient breakthroughs in applicable technology advances are still decades away.
In short, biofuel can be turned into hydrogen steam that is meant to be used in adjoining fuel cells. More major car brands have already invested in stations for biofuel-powered vehicles.
IT Energy Generation
In addition to producing fuel for transportation, fuel cells have a power-generating application that is available for electricity. Biofuel can be used to generate power in backup systems where emission matters most. This includes facilities such as schools, hospitals, and other forms located in residential areas.
In fact, the largest market for biofuel to turn into energy generation for over 350,000 homes from landfill gas is in the United Kingdom.
Provide Heat
Bioheat has grown over the past few years. As the primary use of natural gas comes from fossil fuels, the heat that comes from hydraulic fracturing will lead to natural gas production. While natural gas does not need to come from fossil material, it can also originate from the recently grown material.
The majority of biofuel that is used for heating is substantial as wood is the most practical method to heat houses that use wood-burning stoves rather than gas or electricity. In addition, a blend of biodiesel will reduce the emission of both nitrogen and sulfur dioxide.
Charging Electronics
According to scientists from Saint Luis University, a fuel cell was developed with cooking oil and sugar to generate electricity; consumers will be able to use these cells instead of generating electricity.
Consumers may also use fuel cells in place of batteries to charge anything from computers to cell phones. While they are still in the process of development, cells can become a ready source of power.
Reduce Cost & Need for Imported Oil
More than 84% of the world's petroleum is used in the United States. However, despite the increase in fuel demands, the U.S. has recently started to decrease the need since 2006. This allows biofuels to become the best factor in energy reduction.
Analysts say that replacing imported oil with biofuel will help to stabilize the economy when oil is disrupted. It does not matter how much the United States spends on oil imports but how the overall economy must be stabilized.
Clean Oil & Grease Spills
Biofuel is known to be environmentally friendly; biofuel can also help to clean up oil spills and grease. It has been tested to work as a potential cleaning agent for areas where crude oil contaminated the waters. The results have also been found to increase the recovery areas and allow it to be removed from the water. Biofuel can also be used as an industrial solvent for cleaning metal, which is also beneficial due to its lack of toxic impact.
Create Energy When Fossil Fuel Runs Out
As the oil supply is starting to run out, it has caused us to question how fuel can be extracted without destroying the environment. Biofuel – could help the government create a stable method of producing energy that is cost-effective.
Lubricate
Diesel fuel is required to reduce the sulphur concentration as sulphur provides the most lubricity of fuel. This is important when it comes to keeping the engine properly functioning and to avoid premature infection failure.
Remove Paint & Adhesive
Biofuel can replace the toxic products that are designed to remove paint and adhesives. Biofuel is also considered the best method for eliminating non-critical applications.
Cooking
While kerosene is the most common ingredient to use for stoves and non-wick lanterns, biodiesel works just as great.
