The project will be designed to turn the manure from the dairy’s 400 cows into pure ethanol that can be blended with gasoline as fuel. Unlike conventional ethanol, it would require no fossil fuels to produce. The distillery would run on methane from a manure digester. 
The byproduct of the distillations would [...]

BioFields will produce biofuel from algae on an industrial scale as of 2014 in a plant located in Puerto Libertad, Sonara state. 
This large-scale pilot programme will be set up 300 km from the United States, which will be their main client.
According to Sergio Ramirez, director of Corporative Affairs of the company, [...]

New Jersey-based Garden State Ethanol has selected a landfill site in Woodbine, Philadelphia, for the location of a $200 million (€142 million) biofuel plant that would use more than 100 bioreactor tanks to convert algae into ethanol and biodiesel oil.
Garden State Ethanol is currently seeking funds for the project. If approved, [...]

To see the face of the future of alga ethanol, one would only need to look toward Algenol, the sole company that has discovered how to make the alternative fuel. Although macro-algae (seaweed) has been fermented for hundreds of year, Algenol has invented a method of fermenting micro-algae, something no one [...]

The following was a comment provided at one of the blog posts on ethanol I read recently. While I’m no expert on the heterotrophic processes, the arguments here really sound interesting;
“The Advantages of Heterotrophic Algae Grown at Corn Ethanol Refineries
Solazyme and Solix use two distinctly different methods to produce algae. Solix [...]

Have posted an interesting presentation from Alex Harel of GGASS on the potential of macroalgae to become an important bio-ethanol feedstock. I for one feel that a lot more focus needs to be given to macroalgae than it is given now.
Let’s wish GGASS all the best!
By the way, have you [...]

Numerous alternative means of manufacturing ethanol have cropped up recently, such as this method devised by scientists from The University of Texas at Austin. This new method entails the use of a microbe, more particularly a photosynthetic cyanobacterium which is more popularly known as blue-green algae. This cyanobacterium can produce cellulose [...]

Here are some comparisons:
(1) Algae can be converted into ethanol or diesel, depending on the process.(2) Cellulose feedstock, generally speaking, has a much larger geographic footprint than proposed algae designs.(3) Both algae and ethanol can be grown utilizing waste streams.(4) Cellulosic feedstock for ethanol is available [...]
