Algae fuel - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Algae fuel - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia: "Algae fuel, also called algal fuel, oilgae[1] or third generation biofuel, is a biofuel from algae. Algae are low-cost/high-yield (30 times more energy per acre than land) feedstocks to produce biofuels. [2]
With the higher prices of oil, there is much interest in algaculture (farming algae) to harvest for making vegetable oil, biodiesel, bioethanol, biogasoline, biomethanol, biobutanol and other biofuels.
The production of biofuels to replace oil and natural gas is in active development, focusing on the use of cheap organic matter (usually cellulose, agricultural and sewage waste[3]) in the efficient production of liquid and gas biofuels which yield high net energy gain. One advantage of many biofuels over most other fuel types is that they are biodegradable, and so relatively harmless to the environment if spilled.[4][5][6]"

Pre-Engineered Steel buildings

Pre-Engineered Steel buildings: "Pre-Engineered Steel buildings
Steel is a remarkable material that has been steadily increasing in popularity for construction. It is 66% recyclable, which offers both environmental and financial benefits, and is especially strong and durable. There are a number of options available for building with steel, and one of the most innovative of those options are pre-engineered steel buildings."

Triodetic - Spaceframes - Space Frame Designs - Architectural Structures: "Novel building shapes are possible with space frame designs by combining the basic geometries shown here. All of these can also be altered to suit your aesthetic preference or to align with adjacent buildings or support locations. Building design often develops around rectilinear spaces & the benefits of curved roofs & walls can be overlooked. Modern space frame design methods allow us to expand the edges of domes (or any curved shape) to land on square, rectangular or any plan geometry. Advanced spaceframe manufacturing & construction techniques have made curved & complex shapes very competitive against more traditional linear roofs & walls."
