Toyota Motor Corporation has developed a new series of fuel-efficient gasoline engines that achieve improved thermal efficiency. Use of the Atkinson cycle provides an increased expansion ratio and reduces waste heat through a high compression ratio (13.5), resulting in superior thermal efficiency. Click to enlarge.

Algae have the potential to produce large volumes of fuel per unit area of production on marginal lands using saline water unsuitable for food crops. Thus, algal biofuels could expand transportation energy supplies, without significantly displacing land and water resources that would otherwise have been used for food production.

The pump drives the closed loop aquaponics system that takes nutrients from fish in a large water tank and delivers them to growing plants in the greenhouse which then filters the water and sends it back to the tank. Aquaculture (fish farming) and hydroponics (growing plants in water) becomes aquaponics when combined.

This concept is often called “additionality.” While in the corporate bond world, the credit ratings agencies rated the bonds of thousands of companies and were not dependent on any one company for fees, subprime mortgage-backed credit derivatives were being produced by a small number of banks. Validation requires additionality.
