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.

This is ridiculous. How can you copy someone elses entry and post it without modification/credit? This was originally posted on ecoworldly.
