Recently, OriginOil notified MBD Energy that it is ready to ship a Quantum Fracturing System, designed to maximize algae CO2 absorption with minimal energy, to MBD Energy’s research and development facility at James Cook University in Queensland, Australia. The company’s Single-Step Extraction™ System, designed to efficiently separate algae oil from its biomass, will be the next deliverable and will trigger another payment under the purchase order.
In May, the parties agreed on a multi-phase commercialization program under which OriginOil will supply MBD Energy with its algae-to-oil technology platform in progressively larger installations. Subject to the success of the initial test phase, MBD will purchase significantly larger systems to serve its power station projects in Australia, beginning with a one-hectare pilot plant at Tarong Power Station in South Eastern Queensland, and expanding to full production sites at all three of MBD’s power station projects in Australia.
According to MBD Energy, each of its power station projects has the potential to grow to 80-hectare commercial plants, each capable of producing 11 million liters of oil for plastics and transport fuel, and 25,000 tonnes of drought‐proof animal feed annually. MBD Energy estimates that the projects will eventually consume more than half of each power station’s flue-gas emissions.

OriginOil thinks that the big driver for algae today is carbon storage. Big energy, mining and industrial groups must reduce their CO2 emission and algae can hlep them do this at very low expense. Algae costs millions not billions, and that is very attractive right now. CO2 generators’ involvement seems to be the most feasible way of building massive algae developments!
OriginOil and MBD Energy are among the top speakers addressing the 3rd Algae World Asia, 19-20 October in Singapore where they will share on carbon capture solution using algae.

Aurora Biofuels said it has secured an additional $15 million in a recent funding round led by Oak Investment Partners, with the continued support of Gabriel Venture Partners and Noventi Ventures. This third-round financing brings the startup’s total fundraising to $40 million. The new funding will be used to support the continued path to commercialization for its advanced algae biofuel technology.
In August 2009, Aurora Biofuels announced that they had successfully optimized its base algae strains to more than double CO2 consumption and fuel production, and has proven these results in an outdoor open system.
The company has also been working with Florida Tech on a research project which focuses on developing biofuel with co-products to enhance animal feed as a means to improve the economics of the fuel-production process.
The continued funding from investors shows positive signs that Aurora’s technologies are viable and that they are heading on the right track towards commercialization.
About Aurora Biofuels
Aurora Biofuels manufactures fuel from genetically optimized algae in specially engineered open ponds that provide a favorable environment for rapid algae production. These conditions include a carbon dioxide-rich environment with optimal fluid dynamic characteristics. Techniques have been developed to minimize energy demands throughout the growth and production phases of the process. Once extracted, the algae oil is ready for further processing into the end products, Omega 3 fatty acids, valuable proteins, and biodiesel. And, the remaining algae mass becomes protein-rich animal feed.
Those keen to find out more on how Aurora Biofuels deals with the technological challenges of Large Scale Algal Biofuel should attend the 3rd Algae World Asia in Singapore from 19-20 October, 2010.
Mr Matt Caspari, Managing Director, Aurora Algae Pty Ltd, will also be sharing on the commercial viability of Large Scale Algal Biofuel Production at the conference.

In its push for clean energy sources, President Obama's administration is exploring all options -- including algae-based biofuels. Obama and Energy Secretary Steven Chu have set aside $800 million in Recovery Act funds to research new biofuels.
DOE says algae has potential, but technical and economic challenges remain. To guide future work, it released the National Algal Biofuels Technology Roadmap. The U.S. Department of Energy announced on June 17, 2010 that it's awarding up to $24 million for three research groups (Sustainable Algal Biofuels Consortium, Consortium for Algal Biofuels Commercialization, and Cellana, LLC Consortium) to figure out how to make such biofuels commercially viable.

Exxon Mobil Corp is testing the commercial viability of algae biofuel as an alternative energy source to supplement oil and natural gas, a senior executive said.
|
"We are testing the hypothesis that algae biofuels could become commercially viable and achieve sufficient scale to make meaningful contribution to the future energy mix," saidExxonMobil's senior vice president Andrew Swiger.
Global energy demand is expected to rise by almost 35 percent by 2030, from 2005 levels, he said. "It is early days in this research, and the obstacles we face are formidable, but the potential is great," Swiger added.
He said Exxon currently has an interest in 4,900 megawatts of cogeneration capacity at more than 30 sites worldwide. New facilities under construction in Singapore will boost that capacity to more than 5,000 megawatts by next year 2011. Source: Reuters (Jun 7, 2010)
