One more example of how gradually traditional power generation companies have started integrating their operations with alternative fuels, including algal oil. —The planned expansion of the coal-fired generating capacity at Sunflower Electric Power Corp.’s Holcomb complex isn’t the only energy project in the works here. Teaming with the Kansas Bioscience Authority and a Kansas State […]

And now this… Irish Company Challenges Scientists to Test Free Energy Technology An Irish company has thrown down the gauntlet to the worldwide scientific community to test a technology it has developed that it claims produces free energy. The company, Steorn, says its discovery is based on the interaction of magnetic fields and allows the […]

Founded in 1999 to develop and commercialize micro-algae-derived products for the nutraceutical and cosmeceutical industries, Algatech’s production facility in Kibbutz Ketura will soon begin collaborating with Israeli-US start-up GreenFuel Technologies Corporation to work towards a common goal: developing cost effective, energy efficient fuel made from micro-algae feeding off of carbon dioxide emissions … Oilgae – […]

Interesting! A technology prize to shift oil production to algae. By Jim Bowery Introduction The O-Prize is designed to realize the great potential of oil from algae with the lowest risk over the shortest time. The potential of algae oil is to, in stages: 1) Enhance neurological development via nutritional supplementation with omega-3 fatty acids […]
