The common wisdom that algae oil production is in the several thousand gallons per acre per year range may have to be revised up by as much as ten times or more.
SunEco Energy, headquartered in Chino, California with algae oil production operations in Niland, California (Imperial Valley) report the build out of its pond system will total 1320 acre-feet and will be at the annual production rate of at least 45 million gallons of algae crude oil expected in 2010. The heart of the system outlined by SunEco’s Jim Hardin PhD CTO/CAO, is explained as follows:
“Monoculture photosynthesis single species systems do not apply to the SunEco technology which has achieved highly discounted algae oil yield value of 33,000 gal/acre-ft/year via a polyclonal system using over 30 algae species. Both
Photosynthetic and heterotrophic manipulation in a number of ways (proprietary) are used. Much deeper outdoor ponds add to SunEco’s total yield advanta...
