Oil from manure-eating algae might one day heat our homes

The latest technology in biodiesel on display at Nordic Dairy Farm more closely resembled a high school science project. On a table, a tangle of clear pipes connected a series of large flasks that gurgled with green and brown liquids.

The GSR solutions research team isolated an algae native to Vermont and grew it using the organic carbon waste from dairy farms and breweries. Under certain “stress conditions,” Dahiya said, some species of algae releases oil as a “bank balance for a rainy day.” That oil can be collected and refined to create a diesel-like fuel that can be used to heat homes, and fuel cars, trucks and airplanes.

At the farm Wednesday, a small crowd of researchers and contributors presented their findings to reporters, while flasks gurgled and a pungent smell of cow manure seeped in from an adjacent barn.

This, said Todd Campbell, energy adviser to the U.S. Secretary of Agriculture, signifies progress.

1. Maybe one day we will figure out how to

use manure to fertilize our food crops and keep our soil healthy.
Who said democrats don't understand agriculture?

2. Yep :)

Although, it's best to use manure from animals that haven't been fed medicines or other "additives", such as those classified within organic-food standards.


DUmmy cali has heard of spreading manure on fields:

3. widely done here in Vermont

as well as lots of composting.

The problem always is in the efficiency ratio.
Composting manure requires a certain amount of energy to dewater it.
If it does not ultimately produce a greater amount of usable energy in a functional time frame then it is useless.

If I'm not mistaken 11 or 12+ years ago I remember reading about some guy who had developed a way to turn anything, including trash, into oil. The problem was the efficiency in making it.

If there was enough algae they could just pump it directly into DU. There's enough manure there to create barrels and barrels of oil.

True, though at some point far down the road, when fossil fuel diminishes or demand gets too far in front of possible production, the economics eventually make sense.  The guy did get a pilot plant funded and built, apparently it was a pretty noxious process from the neighbors' point of view, there were lots of complaints about the stink as I recall.

Glad you chimed in DAT. I’m getting old enough now that sometimes I don’t know if I’m remembering something or imagining it. Just the other day I imagined that the president traded some terrorists for a deserter while letting a soldier who made a wrong turn rot in a Mexican prison.

But back to the topic at hand, I don't recalling seeing anything else on the trash-to-oil contraption other than that original article. Due to the growing number of landfills I would think a lot of work would be going into such technology. If the process is that noxious they could just build it next to a DUmmie's house and maybe they'd counteract each other.

Couldn't you have dived into the DUmpster archives, and seen what the nutcase advised everyone on the North American continent to do, in cases such as this?

I know how you feel, Chuck, I had a moment like that just recently, where I had this dream that Obama had decided not to enforce any law he didn't like, and then made a speech about Congress being mad at him for 'Doing his job.'  Then there was another one where he started a bunch of investigations that never went anywhere for years on end, refused to release any information about the incidents behind them because of 'Pending investigations,' and claimed to be 'The most transparent administration ever.'

Weird, huh?

You can produce all kinds of cool stuff in a laboratory, where cost, feasibility and mass producibility are no object. Doing something cool on a mass, economic, scale is totally different, as the windmill windbags and photovoltaic phools have been proving for 40 or 50 years!
