Algae May Fuel our Future

A brief article at Monster & Critics

LOGAN, UT, United States

Excerpts:

1. U.S. biochemistry scientists at Utah State University are using an innovative approach that takes oil from algae and converts it to biodiesel fuel.

2. The scientists say they plan to produce an algae-biodiesel that is cost-competitive by 2009.

3. Seefeldt and several fellow Utah State professors have formed the Biofuels Program to develop new and emerging technologies that will produce methane, biodiesel, hydrogen and alcohols from renewable, carbon-dioxide-neutral energy sources

Personalities & organizations mentioned: Professor Lance Seefeldt, Utah State University

Nature gave us oil from algae; perhaps we should try Nature's way again

About Oilgae - Oilgae - Oil & Biodiesel from Algae has a focus on biodiesel production from algae while also discussing alternative energy in general. Algae present an exciting possibility as a feedstock for biodiesel, and when you realise that oil was originally formed from algae - among other related plants - you think "Hey! Why not oil again from algae!"

The objective of Oilgae is to facilitate exploration of oil production from algae as well as exploration of other alternative energy avenues.
