recently interviewed Dr. S. Fox, director of a leader in nanotechnology, the future of nanotechnology and the production of fuels used, without distillation, and the enormous investment required. Your answers to difficult questions are enlightening and encouraging for the future of the energy sector.

Dr. V. K. Tsitsiringos. Dr. Fox thank you for this interview. As an investor and economist, a subject that is a new process or a trend that affects the nature of one of the major industries in the world remains an important issue.

Dr. Fox is a pleasure to tell you what I can.

Dr. V. K. Tsitsiringos. Can you tell us about your new process and how it may affect the oil industry in general?

Dr. Fox course. Our society (and many of the big oil companies) are working on algae fuel processing. This process involves a completely clean and 100% environmentally safe procedure. We grow some species of algae in special containers, or in some cases, more pools and more. The algae in turn become a part goes to the next generation of new algae, and second in bioreactors. As the matter is passed through hydoclones, and filters in nanotechnology, fuel is extracted.

Dr. V. K. Tsitsiringos. How much fuel can be done, and what it is?

Dr. Fox currently are around 50 tonnes per day. Our production is – 70% of synthetic oil – (transformed in 80%, 15% diesel, gasoline, 5% heavy oil) and 30% of the mass of proteins – suitable for future use as

. What is the quality of fuel, such as

Dr. Fox The quality of petrol and diesel is the highest – and is considered “green” – because it contains salt, sulfur, lead, etc.

Dr. V. K. Tsitsiringos. In fact, it is a true innovation, but 50 tonnes per day actually is not even a drop in the bucket of fuel requirements, which in the developed and developing countries today.

Dr. Fox This is true, but one can imagine the second or third generation of these treatment facilities. We look forward to the production of the refinery level, which is 1000 to 5000 tonnes per day. Facilities will be extended on the ground (or even considered floating seaweed). As nanotechnology develops, we see a massive increase in production in our small factory hectare.

Dr. V. K. Tsitsiringos. And bio-diesel (or should we say exploitation of algae) an expensive investment?

Dr. Fox We have kept prices low, and indeed soon as processing facilities that dot the coastlines around the world.

Dr. VK Tsitsiringos (Vassilios Tsitsiringos) is an economist, surveyor, engineer and finance.
