The group will investigate  biochemical conversion of algae to fuels and products, and analyze the  physical chemistry properties of algal fuels and fuel intermediates. In  addition to ASU, other core members of the consortium are the National  Renewable Energy Laboratory, Golden, Colo., and Sandia National  Laboratories, Albuquerque.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/asunews.asu.edu\/20100702_biofuelgrant\">See more<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The U.S. Department of Energy (DOE) has awarded Arizona State University a $6 million grant as part of a program focused on algae-based biofuels.
