Once again, David Sieg has composed and excellent guide, this time focusing on open ponds for growing algae, whether for fuel, food, animal feed, fertilizer, or even cosmetics. He covers the range from home use to large-scale commercial systems, from a distributed and survival perspective; yet practical enough for modern implementation — a hallmark of true sustainable principles.
We’ll be consulting this guide in the Safe Haven Villages (.org) intention community I’m involved with. In a day when central authority is growing more tenuous, the ability to do things in a distributed model is growing increasingly vital; and it just makes more sense from a seventh-generation sustainability point of view, while still being profitable in today’s economy.
In fact you might consider this as a career that will not only survive the downturn, but help you and many others make it through the worst of times to come; all while pioneering a future industry.

About the Author
In 1995, as one of the first Americans to reenter Vietnam after diplomatic relations were restored, David Sieg, while teaching at a university, started making biofuels, then later, algae biodiesel.
With the oil embargo still in effect, Mr. Sieg used his knowledge of biofuels to run the university generators to get lights and air conditioning. Seeing how many people could benefit, he later opened a algae bio fuels consulting business in Vietnam, and Thailand.
In 2008, knowing the secretive nature of the algae biodiesel industry and the lack of real world info, he created making-biodiesel-books.com to share his knowledge. Here you’ll find real world applications, “How-To” knowledge you won’t find anywhere else.
Other sites might tell you WHAT to do, but none of them tell you HOW to do it. We do.

“It will be our bible…
I have been an constant follower of your ideas, papers and designs and there is no doubt of your worldwide mastery about biofuels. I am a Colombian researcher dedicated to participate in the Colombian project for production of biodiesel from native microalgae…. It will be as our Bible on those topics really urgent and necessary for the future welfare of the humanity. Thanks in advance.

Nice layout, easy to read…
David, just read through your book on algal biodiesel. Nice layout, easy to read with emphasis on building from local materials and good optimism. We may use some of these ideas for our engineering senior design course this year on biofuels production. Thanks.

“I learned more from your eBook than spending $6000…
“Dear David, I have learned more from your e-book than spending $6,000 going to the Algae World 2009 Conference in Rotterdam. Do you have the same manual for Jatropha? Many thanks,

A Comprehensive study undertaken by Auburn University
A 57 page report by Ron Putt of Auburn University where he outlines a feasible plan for Alabama to create 3 billion gallons of fuel to supply ALL of Alabama’s ground transportation needs. This is one of the most comprehensive plans I’ve ever found. I think this report is ground breaking and I’m proud to be able to present it here.
