Disclosed is a liquid organic fuel composition produced by a non-vascular photosynthetic organism, i.e., algae, comprising hydrogen and carbon atoms, wherein the hydrogen and carbon atoms are at least 80% of the weight of the composition, and wherein the delta carbon 13 distribution is less than -40 percent. Further disclosed is a method for generating a fuel product from a non-vascular photosynthetic organism comprising growing the non-vascular photosynthetic organism in contact with an excess of inorganic carbon obtained from combustion of a fossil fuel, wherein the non-vascular photosynthetic organism incorporates the inorganic carbon into a fuel product, wherein the fuel product has a delta carbon 13 distribution of less than -40 percent, and wherein the method further comprises the step of extracting the fuel product from the non-vascular photosynthetic organism. Also disclosed is a method for producing a non-vascular photosynthetic organism having a delta carbon 13 distribution of less than -40 percent comprising, obtaining a non-vascular photosynthetic organism and growing said non-vascular photosynthetic organism in contact with an excess of inorganic carbon obtained from combustion of a fossil fuel. |
