Sapphire Energy is taking steps in demonstrating the viable feasibility of algae created fuels. The corporation is constructing a 300-acre algae plant in New Mexico, with a 100-acre division already finished. Vice President of corporate affairs, Tim Zenk, anticipates the farm to be completely functioning by 2014, generating 1.5 million gallons of algae crude oil for refining into diesel as well as gasoline. The open pond design, comparable to rice paddies, will produce about 1 million gallons of fuel yearly at this initial stage. Regardless of difficulties such as imposing species, Zenk highlights that “energy has become a strategic necessity,” with the US military as a vital potential consumer.
