Algae Grown on Human Waste
Using wild algae grown on human sewage from Marlborough, New Zealand’s sewage treatment ponds Aquaflow Bionomic says that its manufacturing process not only creates a green substitute for crude oil—the company says that it can be used not only to make fuel but also as a substitute for other products which require crude oil—but also creates water clean enough for irrigation or industrial use.

Aquaflow Bionomic’s director Barrie Leay told The Marlborough Express , “This is an exciting development because we can separate fuels such as diesel and aviation fuels, as well as a range of high-value chemicals, from green crude.”

Others Trying to Commercialize Green Crude
TreeHugger has covered companies making green crude a number of times, Sappire Energy and Byogy most recently.

The main advantage of making a plant-based synthetic gasoline, rather than other biuofuels such as ethanol or biodiesel, is that it can be used in the existing fuel distribution stream and in current vehicles without modification.
