Local Algae
I scooped up some algae from a neighbors exposed stream. It looks
like a marine blue/green variety. I am going to try and send it off
for testing. I am curious about oil content and the species type. If
our local algae has 30% or more lipids it would be a good choice for
diesel oil alternatives. Otherwise I'll just buy some B. Braunii or
D. Salina strains which have been used more than other algae strains
for fuel production research.
