Findings of this experiment are of special significance because by using them for fuel production we get fuels by anaerobic respiration, as there is no emission of greenhouse gases while making ethanol from algae. Stored energy from Sun is naturally converted into ethanol. The added benefit being that the harmful effects of the algae for ocean life are eliminated. Scientists and oil producing companies have confirmed that:
"Though algae seems a strange contender for the mantle of World's Next Great Fuel, but the green mess has several qualities in its favor. Algae, made up of simple aquatic organisms that capture light energy through photosynthesis, produces oil."
- The Science Daily, 2006
Results of this experiment clearly and successfully establish that:
- Algae ethanol is an environmentally friendly alternative to food crop-based fuels and petroleum-based fuels.
- Qualitative and quantitative data provided establish the true economic and environmental value of algae ethanol production for our planet.
- The principles of energy conservation, energy transfer and movement of energy explain and support the experimental data. Stated as the Laws of Thermodynamics by Joules, Clausius, Nerst and Planck, more than a century ago, they paved the way for mankind to understand how “Small is Bountiful” and keep the world “energized”.
