Boulder firm developing algae-based fuel
The Denver Business Journal - December 8, 2006
Excerpts:
1. Solix Biofuels Inc. plans to commercialize an alternative fuel over the next two years. The Boulder-based startup is working with Colorado State University on a technology that can produce large quantities of oil from algae and convert it into biodiesel.
2. The technology could potentially reduce greenhouse gas emissions and reduce reliance on petroleum reserves.
3. A strong case can be made for global domestication of algae as an energy crop, feels the CEO of Solix.
4. The company & the university are collaborating with Fort Collins-based beer maker New Belgium Brewing Co. to use excess carbon dioxide from the brewery's plant to test the algae-based biodiesel process.
Personalities & companies mentioned: Bryan Wilson, director of CSU's engines and energy conversion laboratory, Doug Henston, CEO of Solix, CSU president Larry Penley
