New Haven Researchers Check Algae from Long Island Sound As Biodiesel

You are at: Oilgae Blog.

Researchers from the University of New Haven will use a state grant to find out if any species found in Long Island Sound could become a viable source of biodiesel fuel.

Professor Carmella Cuomo, the principal investigator and coordinator of the marine biology program at the university will share the $135,276 grant from the Connecticut Center for Advanced Technology with Eddie Luzik of the university's chemistry department. Luzik will try to identify which organisms have the right mix of lipids, or fats, and how best to extract the oil from them.
