New solid catalyst for making biodiesel from algae
I'm a big fan of the idea of biodiesel (or possibly ethanol) made from algae grown on sewage and other waste/effluent materials. Now there's more hope for that idea.

Mmm...Scientific American. I love their podcasts!
Anyhow, the impressive rate at which biodiesel/ethanol production discoveries are being made really highlights how little research had been put into these technologies in the past. We're still very much in the low hanging fruit stage of such developments. |
Yes, and now Exxon has announced they are spending $600 million to develop algae based biofuels.
