Energy Farm Simulation

World demand for oil is expected to increase by 50% over the next 25 years. But will we have the supply to meet this demand? Petroleum refining capacity in North America is stretched to its maximum limits while demand for clean transportation fuels is steadily increasing. The term “Peak Oil” is becoming more widely understood as relations with OPEC region suppliers further deteriorate However, in the US there is widespread environmental and social opposition to the deployment of new refining capacity. In addition, as graphically demonstrated by the "Katrina" disaster, far too much of the US refining capacity is located in the vulnerable Gulf region. One possible solution to this problem is the Energy Farms concept. Technology is a growth industry in energy, and our "Energy Farm" is here to grow it. Photosynthetic Microalgae have been identified as a viable source of biomass for biodiesel production. Microalgae, like traditional oil seed crops, produce natural oils in the form of triacylglycerols (TAGs) that serve as storage lipids for the biomass. Energy Farms center on the use of proprietary techniques, exclusively licensed to Transglobal Oil Corp., to cultivate and harvest these small photosynthetic organisms in refinery waste feedstock for the production of biodiesel. A closed loop is formed within the energy farm consisting of four technologies. The proprietary process includes the use of four different technologies that form a closed loop. A closed loop meaning that a by-product of one technology can be used by the next technology so that there is little waste in the system. Little waste means greener more efficient solutions for energy production; a viable sustainable alternative to foreign oil; and an opportunity to boost the national economy and create jobs for Americans. Energy Farms, re-cycling resources and providing a sustainable, profit driven, energy solution for the United States.
