The article shows this process in the lab dividing into three separate parts in about 1 hour.
Biomass at the bottom, water in the middle, and oil to the top.
This separation can be done in other ways and it shows in a lab setting it is possible to divide all three into useful parts.

I'm the Inventor of a light weight, extremely frugal and efficient, variable compression, Tri-Brid, Green engine with direct energy recovery and it is directly compatible with braking energy capture for automotive use.
It can be easily retro - fitted to existing Gas Guzzlers as well as to new vehicles.
Fitting ultra efficient engines to new vehicles ONLY stops things getting worse. Cheaply upgrading existing stock REDUCES the current unsustainable levels of green house gasses.
Variable compression allows my engine to run on virtually any gaseous or liquid fuel inc' Bio Digester gas or Petro-Chem waste gas. Because of the novel way this engine works it is very tolerant to corrosive and dirty fuels so there is far less done time for maintenance and oil changes.
We can all produce our own Organic Waste Gas from a simple bio-digester, my engine will convert this gas, cleanly and cheaply into mechanical and electrical power .
Most people think if it sounds too good to be true then it is. Well not this time, I'm not a crank just an ordinary engineer with an idea too big for me to handle on my own.
I'm looking for a serious industrial partner to help bring it to market. - 2 years ago

carbon capture will become a massive business. it is the cost of the process that will make the difference.

1Eco----I agree. My impression of Origin Oil is that they are far more interested in marketing algae culture to fossil fuel plants as a means of "carbon capture" to try to capture big $$$ as a means of diverting attention away from the fact that they are still using fossil coal.
The fact is, "emissions capture" with algae still does not change the fact that the carbon came out of the ground. Capture the carbon at the smokestack or not, strip mining still destroys the environment.
I hope I am following the meaning of your post here, it isn't quite clear to me.
I do not think Origin Oil is a very good example of a company that is seriously pursuing algae culture as a means of fuel production.

VCTZF Full dilution is the problem with these small caps.
Will do more research on the company and report findings here..http://1eco.com/2009/07/28/low-cost-algae-oil-extraction-process/

Our sarcastic, know it all, talking head CNN announcers are also quite empty. Of coarse, plant oils can power our cars----it has been done many times. The very first engine that Rudolf Diesel built in 1893 ran on peanut oil.

The company is not the story. The process of oil extraction is. What can be done in a lab is not the same was what might be done on a large commercial scale.
That maybe 4 years or more away.
