Nanotechnology to Aid Commercial Production of Algae Biofuel
You are at: Oilgae Blog.
Recently two interesting pilot programs seems to improve the commercial viability of algae bio-fuel :
The first was the grant from the California Energy Commission to use the nano-metals as catalysts for generating bio-fuel from algae. The company called QuantumSphere will be developing a nanocatalyst-based bio-gasification process for taking wet algae from Salton Sea in California.

The second project leverages the nano-particles as harvesters for collecting oil from algae – without harming the algae crop. Thus, it reduces both the production cost as well as the generation cycle.
