Bob Metcalfe Says Green Fuel Microalgae Technology is Green in Two Ways

You are at: Oilgae Blog.

Metcalfe believes that the set of skills that helped drive the infotech revolution can do the same for renewable energy, energy efficiency and eco-friendly materials.

Green Fuel, for example, is a company where Metcalfe worked for a time as CEO and is now board chairman. Its goal is to harvest carbon dioxide from power plants to grow algae. "It's green in two ways," Metcalfe says. "It's a CO2 recycling company. Then we are green out the back door because if the CO2 is used to make biodiesel, it's a renewable fuel." The technology works but getting it to commercial scale is a challenge.
