How Algae Just Got Sexy in the Race for Biofuel Energy; BACKGROUNDFrom sewage to algae - researchers at the European Bioenergy Research Institute (EBRI) at Aston University are investigating the energy-generating potential of a biomass sources.The Birmingham Post (England)...
Algae has been a hot topic in the clean energy community for years; it can be used to produce biofuel efficiently, with minimal water use, and without taking up arable land. ButSolazyme, a San Francisco-based algae fuel startup, is expanding its brand by bringing algae technology into the ...
Microalgae don't directly produce biofuel—they produce lipids (fats). To make biofuel these fats must be converted through a process known astransesterification. The process involves removing as much water as possible, known as dewatering, but this requires significant amounts of energy, resulting ...
Should we use arable land to produce biofuels? How can microbiomes be harnessed to improve plant function for food and biofuel production and climate change mitigation? What long-term impacts will laboratory-grown meat products have on animal feed crops?
“Barbara’s almost the leader of our team — she’s been through it all,” said Craig Griffin, the United States cycling coach. “She’s never retired. She’s never let her body go and then come back. I don’t think age is as big of a deal as people make it out to be.” ...
The plane maker and the airline settled on using tobacco instead of more established biofuel sources.

Important technical groundwork was done by Professor Thomas Brück and his team at the Algae Cultivation Center of the Technical University of Munich. The algae investigated at the center not only produce biofuel, but can also be used to efficiently produce polyacrylonitrile (PAN) fibers. The energ...
ofphotosynthesisin algae and to harnessing that power to produce biofuels. Algae store energy in the form of natural oils and, under the right conditions, can make a lot of oil that can be converted into biofuels for cars, trucks, trains and planes, according to the U.S. Department of ...
