ARTESIA, N.M. — A little project to turn algae into biodiesel has become so successful, researchers believe they will be ready for a commercial demonstration within the next two years.
"Commercial demonstration means that we'll operate at least five acres of ponds and harvest algae at a commercial scale, which means that these five acres will have the same size and capacity of ponds one would use in a commercial plant," said Doug Lynn, executive director for the Center of Excellence for Hazardous Materials Management (CEHMM).
(The success of the biodiesel fuel industry relies heavily on biodiesel testing, not only at the production level but at the consumer level, where degraded fuel may cause engine failures. Fleet Biodiesel's family of inexpensive biodiesel test kits is just a click away on the internet)
