Camille Naaktgeboren, a NAU graduate student working on her PhD, is studying algae as an alternative source of energy. The lipids (fats) from these algae can be used to produce biodiesel. "To meet the energy needs of the future we will not rely on a single or a few sources as we do now. Instead we will diversify our energy sources. Though solar and wind power are very important, we still require a liquid fuel that can be used in our current engines," she said.
"Algal-derived biodiesel provides a viable alternative to diesel produced by fossil fuels.This fuel is carbon neutral it does not add to the total amount of carbon dioxide in the atmosphere, renewable, and rapidly produced."
