1 Biodiesel from Algae: challenges, opportunities and the way forward Tom Beer, David Batten, John Volkman, Graeme Dunstan, Susan Blackburn CSIRO Energy Transformed Flagship 2325 January 2008

2 Aviation interest in algae If the world airline fleet used 100% biojet fuel from soybeans, it would require 322 billion litres. = World fleet in billion litres of biojet fuel (85 billion gallons) This would require 5,750 sq km of land (about the size of Europe) Planted with soybeans Soybeans (560 ltr oil/hectare) 575 million hectares (5.75 million sq km) soybeans

3 To meet aviation s fuel demand If the world airline fleet used 100% biojet fuel from soybeans, it would require 322 billion litres. = World fleet in billion litres of biojet fuel (85 billion gallons) This would require 35k sq km land (about the size of Belgium) Algae Pond 94K ltr/hectare yield? 34,250 sq km (3.4 million hectares) algae ponds

6 Objective of the Presentation To seek partners to determine the amount and location of algal biomass in the ESCAP region that could be suitable for the production of biodiesel To offer the possibility of a sustainable, low GHG emissions feedstock that grows rapidly yields more biofuel per hectare than oil plants contains no sulfur and is nontoxic is highly biodegradable does not compete with food, fibre or other uses does not involve destruction of natural habitats

7 About Microalgae They contain lipids and fatty acids as membrane components storage products metabolites and sources of energy They contain up to 40% of lipids/oils by weight They need light, nutrients and warmth to grow

8 Sources of Microalgae Largescale, natural sources: Bogs, marshes and swamps Salt marshes Salt lakes Smallscale sources: Wastewater treatment ponds Animal waste Other liquid wastes

9 Resource Potentials Methodology T > 15 o C and availability of: water body or wastewater pond; flat, low cost land; infrastructure. CO 2 resources

10 Suitable Climatic Areas 15ºC or higher

11 Dairy feedlot potential

12 Pig feedlot potential

13 Municipal wastewater potential

14 Waste/water Potentials ESCAP countries with large wastewater or animal waste potentials: Southern China (wastewater, pig wastes) Thailand (wastewater, pig wastes) Indonesia (wastewater) Malaysia (wastewater) Philippines (wastewater, pig wastes)

15 Theoretical resource potentials by 2020 Continent Municipal wastewater [Mton algae] Dairy cow wastes [Mton algae] Pig wastes [Mton algae] Total [Mton algae] Africa America Asia Europe Middle East Oceania Total Source: van Harmelen and Oonk (2006) Microalgae biofixation processes

16 Algae to Biodiesel Pathway High protein content (up to 35%) Further treatment to recover other valuable material? Residual micro algae Dewatering and extrusion Aquafeed Animal feed Pet feed Waste liquor Extraction of protein Incorporate into human foods Selection of micro algae species Growth of micro algae Harvesting of micro algae Extraction of oil from micro algae Oil for processing into biofuel BIODIESEL
