BlueFire Ethanol, which has been trying to produce ethanol out of landfill waste, is sending sugars to Solazyme for algae fuel testing which grows their algae by feeding them with sugars in fermentation vats. BlueFire has had trouble getting its own ethanol plant off the ground, but it does have working knowledge about producing sugars. By working with Solazyme and others, BlueFire belives it can potentially carve out a revenue stream while Solazyme can offload a function on its way to producing fuel.
