  ™ If America and other nations want to reduce their dependence on foreign oil they will need to develop and finance the commercialization of alternative sources of energy. Renewable energy is an alternative source of energy. Biodiesel and biofuel are alternatives to petrol. Biodiesel and biofuel producers require feedstock ("biofeedstock") as an essential component in the refining process. The refining process is called transestrification. Biodiesel and biofuel produces need a dedicated and reliable source of biofeedstock in order to reach their production capacity. Algae oil is a biofeedstock. Algae oil is primarily grown, harvested and extracted outdoors using sunlight and water (fresh or salt depending on the algae strain). Growing anything outdoors is problematic due to climatic uncertainties. Climatic uncertainties result in unpredictable production yield. Unpredictable production yield will result in an inability to sustain growth required for commercialization. Scalability is necessary to produce high yield algae oil required for commercialization. Russell Industries, Inc., through its wholly owned subsidiary, Algae Farm, LLC., is currently developing its Proof of Concept Pilot to Scale sustainable algae biomass production system. Our mission is to produce high yield predictable, reliable, scaleable and sustainable algae biomass in a climate controlled environment. |
