experience. I also hope to get more information on the possible problems with using fermentation as a CO2source for stimulating algae production. The Vision My research on and the companies in operation tries to find a solution to feeding and powering the world could potentially be benefited with the miracle plant duckweed. It seems more than feasible that we could utilize ABE or Ethanol formation to produce liquid fuels and CO2. Using a facility setup similar to the one used in my experiment we could use the CO2to aerate an open pond, stimulating Duckweed growth. The Duckweed can then be feed back into the fermenter to produce more liquid fuels and CO2, so the cycle would continue. Should the economic climate of where ever one of these facilities is built favors the fuel, animal feed, or any one of the useful byproducts the facility wouldn’t have to be altered. The equipment for fermentation and the open ponds are cheap, making this concept a potential winner, particularly in the developing world. With higher yields on less land than industrial corn, perhaps someday Lemnoideae will be instrumental in fueling and feeding the ever demanding world. By analyzing my experiment and the companies currently producing algae biofuels, I propose a facility is based on a research paper entitled of high-starch duckweed and its conversion to “production bioethanol.
