Algaeus: A Prius-based fuel using AlgaeThe world of car every time you try to surprise us with new ideas. This time Toyota is the company which proposes to use bioplastics produced from marine algae, to produce a new model.We have investigated many strange elements to develop fuels that have been experienced in an internal combustion engine, modified or not. The final height of fashion it seems, is the Toyota Prius that algae-based fuel used to move: the Algaeus. With the research that has advanced the University of Marine Science and Technology of Tokyo has made sure that the area Yamatotai is most appropriate for mass algal cultures. They are called algae to various organizational simple photosynthetic organisms that live in water or high humidity. Basically the process of converting algae into fuel is carried out by an American company called Sapphire Energy. The process of fuel out of algae, whose product is called green crude oil, produces hydrocarbons that make up a biofuel that could be used in automobiles. In fact, Algaeus has no change in engine and achieves a consumption of 0.16 l/100km. The trip will lead a Algaeus vehicles powered by new and alternative fuels in the U.S., coast to coast to "minding" the public about the advantages of using algae as a biofuel, as a demonstration and as publicity for the film. The idea is to make a one-piece chassis using this kind of biological plastic. Take as a model the 1 / X today, which is a hybrid vehicle, and replacing its carbon fiber skeleton for bioplastic seaweed. From Toyota commented that the new trend is the use of such non-petroleum based plastics. This will produce a technology that captures the expectations of all who love the adventure of the file. It is important to know that Toyota is a company that is creating and innovating every day to meet potential clients and also grow in the world and a culture that spreads luxuriantly for maintaining a healthy environment. Undeveloped land, is that cars are now a great opportunity for everyone to consume, and help reach the goal of incorporating the green technology. So much so that some companies that develop tires from seaweed, giving them a replacement of amorphous silica used routinely in the manufacture of tires.
