Joint project to use coal to grow algae for biofuels
Algae's clout as a fuel feedstock seems to rise every day. Inventure Chemical and Seambiotic announced this week a joint venture to create biofuels from algae fed by a coal-fired power plant.

Based in Seattle, Inventure Chemical has a process for converting algae to either biodiesel, ethanol, or specialty chemicals. Seambiotic, based in Tel Aviv, Israel, has developed an open-pond algae farming system that is now testing in Israel.
The joint venture will grow algae using flue gas emissions from a power plant and either use the resulting liquid fuel to power its operations or sell it.
