SYSTEMS AND METHODS FOR PRODUCTION OF BIOFUEL

摘要

Self-sustaining, self-contained systems and methods for producing biofuels and for producing biofuel feedstock from algae. The system is carbon neutral or may be carbon positive, fixing more carbon than it releases to the atmosphere. In various embodiments, the system may be coupled to an existing carbon dioxide producing process to reduce or completely eliminate carbon dioxide output, making the existing system carbon neutral, and providing valuable and tradable carbon credits. The system may also comprise modular tiles comprising a biomass sandwiched between two panels and use a combination of microbes, nutrients, water, and sunlight to generate biological hydrocarbon compounds that can be used in almost any type of engine.
