This book is a how to manual of algae for ethanol conversion process. It is meant to allow investors and others just interested in the process to have a peek inside this new technology and potential gold mine industry. This is not a book on how to make ethanol in your bath tub; rather you will learn how it is done at home, small scale, and large-scale, and why this new technology is so important to the energy future of not only this country, but the world.

This book is set up to assist you in the following ways

• To thoroughly understand the algae to ethanol process as well as the fundamentals of alcohol fermentation.
• The different algal strain for Ethanol
• Where to buy algae strains.
• Build a home ethanol still for personal production.
• To thoroughly prepare you to successfully buy an ethanol still.
• To guide you through the process of building and setting up a small scale ethanol plant.
• To guide you in building and setting up a large scale ethanol plant.
• To help you understand the legal requirements related to ethanol production.
• To advise on the local and federal government tax breaks available to you to start.
• A resource guide to get most parts and equipment.
• Detailed reference sources to get further information.

Why use algae for ethanol?

• You can press the oil from specific strains of algae to make bio diesel, and then use the left over biomass for ethanol…two transportation fuel products in one.
• Algae can be grown on non-arable land not taking away from the productive farmland.
• Algae require fewer inputs than traditional sources.
• The EROI – Energy Returned On Investment, is much higher than Energy Invested or required to produce algae ethanol.
• Making algae ethanol does not require a very complicated equipment or machinery to set it up.
• Algae ethanol plant does not use food crops.
• The alga to ethanol process produces many valuable by-products.
• A by-product of the fermentation process is CO2…a valuable component needed in maximizing algae production.

This book is written for entrepreneurs and small business owners, by an entrepreneur and small business owner. I’ve tried to answer the questions I would have, and have had, in my own algae production consulting business. It is written for professionals and forward thinking individuals looking to cash in on the “Algae Revolution.”

Other factors to consider:

• No licensing required or needed.
• Grow a valuable product.
• No upper limit on income potential.
• No boss
• Ground floor opportunity to get in on one of the biggest bonanzas in modern history.

The paperback book is over 235 pages and the eBook and supporting bonus material are a whooping 1024 pages. It is the most complete treatment of the subject available anywhere, online or offline.
