Waste and algae-sourced biogas powers car
Filed under: Natural Gas, European Union
Olmix, a French company that specializes in what they call "green chemistry," has announced a prototype vehicle powered with a new type of biofuel. This fuel is a type of biogas obtained from green algae plus a mix of animal and vegetable waste. Animal waste contains a lot of highly pollutant nitrates and green algae proliferation and is actually a problem at the region's beaches.
In order to produce this fuel, Olmix had to develop a new type of "green refinery," which will be installed in the town of Ploërmel, French Bretagne, and will be completed by the end of this year. As a bonus, the new fuel, which uses no heavy chemicals for its production, creates fertilizer as a byproduct.

I don't know how their process work but if it's like the film i saw in youtube abouth gscleentech then it can become large and productive. I think that it is the future of petroluem industry, instead of pumping it in the ground it will be produce from green algae in factory. The conventionnal petroluem industry with their brainwash of telling everybody that there is no more petroluem in the ground will erase them in the next couple of years, they are proposing themself in some way to replace them with something else then their products, LOL.
