kill the earth. That’s why we pick are product

Forget corn, sugar cane, and even switchgrass. Some experts believe that algae is set to
eclipse all other biofuel feedstocks as the cheapest, easiest, and most environmentally
friendly way to produce liquid fuel, reports Kiplinger’s Biofuels Market Alert. “It is easy to get
excited about algae,” says Worldwatch Institute biofuels expert Raya Widenoja. “It looks like
such a promising fuel source, especially if it’s combined with advances in biodiesel
processing.”

Pit will be powered by biofuel.
PRODUCTION METHOD
STEP
Agricltural and
industrial biomass
MATERIALS
WHAT MUST HAPPEN
Wood,beets,sugar We need to get a lot of biomass
cane,grass
is collected
fermentatoin
Oil is produced
Biomass +
microalgae
Sugar
Oil is transformed
into liquid propane
We have to combine the biomass an microalgae to
make oil
We have to feed the algae to make more oil then
remove the aglae
Change oil into useable fuel

Our algae bar b q pit is a good idea for the people. The algae is cheap and it also lasts longer. I think it
will sell more than the regular bar b q pit and the big stores like walmart, homedepot, lows would like to
make a deal to get my product in thier stores so every one can make money. We will use light metal to
make the bar b q pit so its easier to move around and lighter to carry.
-Joshua Gloria.
Our product is a good idea because algae grows fast and it’s more cheaper than just regular
propane gasl. It would also be environmentally friendly so it won’t cause pollution. You can
find the bar b q pit anywhere really.

I think are product is a good idea because it’s safe on the earth, and it’s renewable it’s also cheaper
then all the other propane company’s where there’s effect the earth by polluting the water, and air
by throwing bad gases where are algae pit does not throw out bad gases that effects the earth. Jacob
Rodriguez
The Reason Why We Picked Algae As Are Product, because We Thought it would be easier to use and
cheaper then most propane Company it’s also safer to use it doesn’t effect the Earth the product were
making is a bbq pit that would be made out of algae. Algae Lasts longer and the bbq pit will be better
to use then any other bbq pit that you have to waist money on buying stuff to start the pit.
-Kelly Lopez
I think our product is a very good idea because it is more environmentally friendly. Since we will be
replacing the gas with algae biofuel there will not pollution into the air. Algae is also easily grown and
can be grown in massive amounts. It’s a renewable resource that will never run out, which means its
more reliable.
