Algae fuel. A conical flask of "green" jet fuel made from algae. Algae fuel, algal biofuel, or algal oil is an alternative to liquid fossil fuels that uses algae as its source of energy-rich oils. Also, algae fuels are an alternative to commonly known biofuel sources, such as corn and sugarcane. [1] [2] When made from seaweed (macroalgae) it ...
The federal government had already invested hefty sums in alternative fuels even before the Gulf of Mexico oil spill, but the millions of gallons of crude that continue to gush from BP's (BP ...
Algae and cyanobacteria fuels The so-called "third-generation biofuels", similar to second-generation biofuels with an emphasize on the use of algae and cyanobacteria as a source of biofuel feedstocks, have an additional advantage as they take up a relatively small fraction of space when compared to first and second-generation biofuel sources ...
Energy. Oil. It's at the very heart of everything that drives modern society. It's much more than just the black stuff that comes out of the ground and then goes into our cars. Oil is central to ...
The biofuel blend included components derived from algae and jatropha plants. The algae oil was provided by Sapphire Energy, and the jatropha oil by Terasol Energy. In March 2011, Yale University research showed significant potential for sustainable aviation fuel based on jatropha-curcas. According to the research, if cultivated properly ...
