I don't like the idea. We are all looking forward to a green world . With this invention, it means that day may never come

Afrobasic: With this invention, natural crude oil prices would fall drastically...

Thanks Science!

Nope.

Ayoolla: Oh I am so glad this is happening! I shout Eureka! Eureka! Eureka! At long last, the crude oil of many countries including Nigeria's are becoming less dominating and gradually being substituted. No more threat of resource control or hell fire from some parts of the world over others,No more subsidy scam, no more kerosene albatross, no more illegal refinery(as there is no need for such) as every willing man will be able to properly distill all the fractions of this mixture in a simple DIY means. I foresee, little revenue for the countries whose economies are run by Crude OIL, therefore very little to steal and loot... Eureka!! (Let me start getting ready to assemble my mini plant)
Crude oil will remain dominant for at least the next 80yrs.

druid06: Oil dependent Nations should immediately start seeking for alternative source of revenue because come 2-3 decades from now, fossil fuel would no longer be used as primarily used as fuel anymore.

Nope. Crude is here to stay.

BP just announced a new huge discovery in the Gulf of Mexico, and this is one of the most exploitated oil zones in the world, yet there is still Oil in it..

Nothing, I say, Nothing can replace the 'fossil fuels' (Original Crude Oil).. Crude Oil is here to stay, and stay it will.. grin

Algae matter no be today.

This research has been for almost a decade, it only produces little quantity which cannot sustain its demand.
But I believed developmental researches are going on for larger production at a reduced cost.

These companies you mentioned are "energy" companies, not just oil. Of course I see them cashing in on it.

If it works as designed it is supposed to be carbon neutral, meaning that the algae will grow by absorbing co2 from the atmosphere through photosynthesis and return the co2 back to the atmosphere on combustion.

Crude oil is a finite none renewable resource that will one day be exhausted, what do you think the world would use when that day comes?

skyfall:

You're not familiar with the oil industry. They'll be the biggest investors in the venture. If I show you one of those companies' plans for the next 40yrs you'll be shocked.
You are the one not familiar with oil exploration and production, before you even start to argue, go and research what oil exploration cost in average, money invested in developing new fields, then check what the oil majors have invested in deep offshore fields all over the world.

This project will die in the lab. No need for sentiments just work with facts to open your eyes to reality. I do not have time to start explaining the sort of debts the oil majors are in to finance their operations. Agreeing that this crude oil has an immediate future-10 to 20 years to become mainstream material is like agreeing that dangote will be happy and support the government in making our refineries run at full capacity to sell pms at N25 a litre after he has borrowed trillions of naira already yielding interest...hell no, instead he could even go as far as toppling the government.
Do your research.

bebe2: As a white oil company contractor once told my dad,

He said one day, Nigerians are going to stick their dipstick into the ground and realise there is no oil left,
Dats wen they will start to develop other business sectors.

Crude oil will never finish just like the rains will never stop falling, the sun will never stop shinning and the trees will never stop growing, dying and decaying...

It's a natural process and will continue being available as long as the earth exists...

Any black soil with high humus content rich in plant matter over years is a prospective biofuel generator..

Oil does not have to run out in the next 300 years, in fact it can never completely run out due to the way it is extracted from the ground. But its extraction rate can only go so high before it reaches its peak level of global production, plateau on that level for a while, and then starts the inevitable decline. It is this peak level of production and decline as well as a deteriorating energy return on energy invested (EROEI) on a global scale that some economist find disturbing. Some mathematical models are predicting that we would start feeling the squeeze on the global economy between now and a few years time as a result of peak oil and declining EROEI.

Okay fellow Nigerians, here is the thing. In terms of energy production, no other alternative source packs as much energy per volume as crude oil. Not the over hyped algae or even intermittent solar, wind or wave energy. Especially given the fact that it is another lab invention that promises to do what took nature millions of years to do in just 1 hour! Haba!!! We all should take to the streets to protest this monstrosity. We are still trying to curb the negative effects of GMO's and other lab grown concepts like synthetic fertilizers. So, good old Nigeria and the oil companies need not worry just yet about this project shattering oil prices. Infact, I see oil prices rising in years to come, believe me. Maybe when they make saltwater power engines, then we all can start having nightmares that day.

be decieving ur self, dt's why Nigeria will remain corrupt and bad cos pple like u believes in looting Nigeria having in Mind dt Crude oil will never dry up, wake up and be innovative stop being lazy.

Energy companies have been on this for a while now but the problem is, it can't be produced on a commercially viable scale, at least not yet. They will prolly have to sell a barrel for about $10,000 (for example) for it to be profitable; but who will buy that when conventional crude is profitable at $100 a barrel.

The only reason production will get to peak level and plateau will be because they can't find anything else to produce or extract . Energy companies have been focused on researching and developing new technologies to ensure that they can find oil wherever it exist. As long as they can find it, it will be produced and the "stall and decline" prediction won't happen anytime soon.

But, further crude oil discoveries will be more expensive and of lower quality in the future.
