Midwest Institute, DOE Nanoscale Idea, Algae Biofuels Challenge - 3 More Efforts

You are at: Oilgae Blog.

There are three more algae to fuel efforts that have been announced recently.

1. The Midwest Research Institute, an independent, nonprofit contract research organization based in Kansas City, Mo., formed a new research center to conduct research and development, process engineering, consulting and life cycle cost analysis services on algae and its uses.

2. The U.S. DOE’s Ames Laboratory, operated by Iowa State University, is researching nanoscale particles to harvest triglycerides, neutral lipids and fatty acids from microalgae for biodiesel production.

3. The British government has created the Algae Biofuels Challenge to accelerate the production of algae to extract oil for biodiesel.

That's some amount of efforts, I must say.
