United states department of energy estimated that the cost of industrial production is more than $8 per gallon, or 1.80 euros per liter, taking into account the data known in november 2008. Algenol announces low-cost distribution of $1.30 per gallon in 2015, or €0.30 per liter. Estimates: at the level of energy efficiency, one of the disadvantages reflected according to studies and reports carried out by different entities is that the energy conversion compared to the others is minimal. That is, solar energy through algae is in the order of 3mw. Less than wind energy (between 5 and 20 mw), or hydroelectric energy (between 10 and 50 mw). Likewise, it is estimated that they have a lower yield, because they are limited by the photosynthesis process, which is very low (<1%). However, they evaluate that the use of this innovation is to provide it on a large scale and make it competitive. In the long term, in an area of 40 hectares, the objective is to absorb 450 thousand tons of co2 per year to obtain 230,000 barrels of oil. The project began 5 years ago and is beginning to seduce the largest companies such.
The number one oil company in the world wants to invest $600 million in algae oil research and development. Bernard stroïazzo-mougin, at the origin of the patents “underwater environment ionization phenomenon” and “control of artificial magnetic fields” is the engineer behind the project. The Singapore Phone Number founding president of bio fuel systems (bfs), brought together a team of 25 researchers and academics of recognized prestige to this new activity. To date, more than twenty patents protect the bfs process around the selection of microalgae strains with high potential. The projection of a world without energy shortages and polluting discharges into the air becomes more true, in the face of global energy consumption that increases by just over 1% annually. The initiatives of these scientists can only confirm that the energy and ecological revolution is underway.
The catamaran moves forward with impulses generated by two electric motors that replace the sails. These motors are powered by 3 photovoltaic panels with a surface area of 130m 2 , two wind turbines and a 50m 2 kite. Which are installed on its flanks and cover the ship's energy demand most of the time. In the center, a 20 meter wide barrel sail can be deployed. Two hydrogen generators that operate under the hull, when there is no wind or sun. The boat is dragged by the kite and the motors generate a current that allows hydrogen to be produced. Electricity is produced from this hydraulic energy generated by navigation, thus satisfying the needs of the engine, life on board, and the ship's guidance and telecommunications devices. Energies and storage systems complement each other. Which allows the boat to move at 8 or 10 knots instead of 30 knots when it was intended for the race. Likewise, it is also equipped with different sensors to analyze the state of health of the oceans.
