A hectare pond of marine phytoplankton CCMP647 (Pleurochrysis carterae) can produce 15,000 to 80,000 liters of vegetable oil a year. Only about 6,000 liters of palm oil can be squeezed out of a hectare a year. CCMP647 is a marine phytoplankton that has high oil content - about 50% of mass. This strain is readily available from CCMP, a US culture collection organization. It can grow up to 50 % lipid. It doubles in about 2-3 days. Initial field trials have been few with this strain, but some of the trials appear to suggest that this strain can outcompete other invaders.

Greetings from the San Francisco Bay Area! I stumbled upon Hypography.com while researching "Terra Preta Del Indio," the 'dark earth' of the Amazon. I consider myself somewhat web savvy, and was amazed that I have never seen this site before. I knew I had to join up and start posting. You may wonder, why the name "Donno?" Well, because there are too many things that I don't know, but am eager to learn. My interests include bio-intensive gardening, hydroponics, clean power systems, biomimicry, gaia-theory, and filtration technologies. I have a pretty open mind, and look forward to sharing and learning. I believe that you can learn something from everyone. I need help with basic mechanics, electrical engineering, and chemistry. My greatest strength is as an 'idea person.' I come up with some off of the wall ideas, and often need help "dotting the i's and crossing the t's." I don't have that much formal education, but am an active student of life. I, Donno.
