Can algae blooms be used for oil production?
Read and respond to the post here: https://publiclab.org/notes/Ag8n/10-16-2018/can-algae-blooms-be-used-for-oil-production
Many algae blooms show up in the oceans. But, algae blooms are also being used by alternate energy groups to produce synthetic oil. Is there a way to combine the two?
Thank you.

Hi
Liz,
I
have no practical experience in algae cultivation, but I
have had some contact with a group that works with it.
As
I remember, it is necessary to control the variety of algae
that grow.
Cultivation
in a saline environment can be a strategy to control the
diversity of algae in the culture medium.
Some
varieties produce oils as an energy storage strategy.
And
so, a strategy to increase production is to generate a lack
of some nutrient (starvation) to stimulate the algae to
produce oils.
But
then the challenge is to concentrate the algae and produce
an algae biomass with a sufficient concentration to make the
oil extraction viable.
And
for the extraction it is necessary to break the algae cell
wall to release the oil.
But another alternative for the energy use of algae biomass could be its use for the production of biogas.
Best Regards
Markos
