Abstract: Highest Profit and Cleanest/Greenest Renewable Alternative Energy Technologies all on the same energy farm. When you build a windfarm, the windmills are usually spread quite a distance apart leaving the land below unused. Our invention builds a Green House High Rise underneath the wind mills, and on top of the roof top of the Green House High Rise we install mirrors (with magnifying glass) that reflect sun on to a boiler that boils sea water and/or biofuels that turns a turbine...  Underground we build methane from organic waste facility (ie. sewage, restaurant waste, manures, agricultural runoff), the methane is used in our one of a kind large scale fuel cells for methane and Where the methane is converted into 1. Energy, plus 2. the heat steam reforms some of the methane into hydrogen that is also reacted with the fuel cell... In stalled in every window of the Green House High Rise are algae containers (the idea being that if you build high enough the East-West walls of the building will have more sunlight exposure that the building height is relative to the size of the plot of land. This means the key ingredient of growing algae for biofuel which is sunlight is harnessed more. This Green House High Rise will be situated below the wind mills and the mirrors array to boiler and the methane fuel cell underground. The following Reactions Format was taken from the internet - for algae to be processed into liquid hydrocarbons for use as fuels, feedstocks, and chemicals: Algae can be converted to liquid hydrocarbons at temperatures between 400 and 430/C, and operating hydrogen pressures of 1025-2250 psig, in the presence of a cobalt molybdate catalyst. The highest oil yield obtained was 46.7 wt % on the basis of algae charged. In addition, up to 10 wt% liquid products, and 34 wt% hydrocarbon-rich gases were obtained. In general, higher temperatures and longer reaction times increase the degree of conversion and oil yield and decrease the asphaltene yield in the overall hydrogenation of algae. The oil yield and the degree of conversion also increase proportionally with hydrogen pressure to a maximum of about 1200 psig, and then level off. A  catalyst is required for the algal liquefaction process, and the yield distribution from algal hydrogenation is greatly influenced by the nature of the catalyst employed. The algal hydrogenation process offers a useful means of producing liquid hydrocarbons for use as fuels, feedstocks, and chemicals.   We plan to use waste heat by products to : We plan to use this process by using gas/steam pressure from the mirrors boiler on the roof top or the methane fuel cell waste heat that boils gas and/or steam perhaps pressure against hydraulic pressure 1025 to 2250 psig, at high heat with the presence cobalt molybdate catalyst with thermo coupling and modulating/regulating control of temperature by balancing (adding) extra cold water into the system to keep temperature at optimal heat (prevent overheating) while maintain the pressure at optimal levels (to prevent overly high pressure), by opening a spout that releases the steam pressure through a pipe with a turbine that generates energy.   So infact we are converting algae into fuel at no cost...
