  • Publication number: 20090075353
    Abstract: A method of producing ethanol, which comprises of starch obtained from continuously cultivated unicellular green algae strains which reproduce through a single cell clone cultivation method that cyclically produces starch extra-cellularly. Only the starch is recovered and goes through a saccharification and fermentation process for the production of ethanol. The algae are left for continual reprocessing. The obtained starch is then saccharified and fermented to produce ethanol. This production method is available and feasible in any part the world, from tropical areas to high latitude areas because it is controlled not by natural climatic conditions but in an environment that is monitored and controlled by humans. The continuous production process from these Chlorella algae strains can reduce the production cost of ethanol production as well as contribute to reducing industrial wastes and carbon dioxide to contribute to the earth's environmental wellbeing.
