Extraction of Biocrude from Algae - A Top Story

You are at: Oilgae Blog.

Climate change mitigation-related stories were among the top ten most read science stories from the Los Alamos National Laboratory in 2009.

Los Alamos National Laboratory team-up with Solix Biofuels Inc. to use the laboratory’s sound wave technology in optimizing production of algae-based fuel ranked as the seventh leading story for 2009.

Acoustic focusing – the use of sound waves by the Los Alamos Acoustic Flow Cytometer – is being commercialized to harvest biocrude, also known as green gold. The substance is an alternative to crude oil and can be refined into biodiesel, gasoline or even jet fuel.
