Queensland University of Technology (QUT) Seeks Fuel from Algae, among Others

You are at: Oilgae Blog.

Queensland University of Technology (QUT) has opened Australia's first biofuel research facility to speed up the race to cut the nation's carbon emissions. It is testing everything from cooking oil to algae in a bid to find cheaper and cleaner fuels.

The biofuel research facility will test a range of biofuels, from used cooking oil to algae, on new engine technologies.

QUT's Dr Richard Brown said the aim was to produce an engine that specifically ran on biofuels. The facility already had a lot of interest from the automotive and industry sectors. The research is based at QUT's Gardens Point campus in Brisbane.
