Algenol Seeks help from Johns Hopkins University and the University of Maryland Biotechnology Institute

You are at: Oilgae Blog.

Algenol Biofuels aims to make ethanol with blue-green algae, by feeding it a steady diet of carbon dioxide and farm animal waste. Algenol has its research facility in Baltimore and about 15 scientists and technicians are working towards an alternative energy breakthrough.

The firm believes it can produce enough fuel to run fleets of vehicles by growing its special blue-green algae in sprawling grids of "bioreactors" filled with sea water.

Algenol is getting help from experts at the Johns Hopkins University and the University of Maryland Biotechnology Institute. Frank Robb, a professor at UMBI's Center for Marine Biotechnology, has been contracted by the company to help with its research.
