JMU students create alternative to fossil fuels using algae to make biodiesel<\/p>\n

By Shayna Strang, staff writer, The Breeze, Posted on February 5, 2007<\/p>\n

Excerpts:<\/p>\n

1. Students from multiple concentrations in ISAT @ James Madison University (JMU) have joined together to make that transition go green \u2014 literally. The students are making biodiesel from green algae.
2. The group is looking at micro-algae as a fuel source
3. The idea of converting algae into fuel goes back to 1978, when the U.S. Department of Energy\u2019s Office of Fuels Development funded the Aquatic Species Program
4. Corporations, such as GreenFuel Technologies, have been using a process similar to the
students\u2019 to develop a clean and renewable energy source.
5. The students will be presenting their findings at the annual CISAT Senior Symposium later in the year.<\/p>\n

Personalities & organizations mentioned: Students Ryan Powanda, Emily Thomas, Kevin Hofmaener, Jon Brown and Ryan Geary, Andrew Flatness, John Kauffman and Billy Broas, who are working on their senior project in ISAT. ISAT assistant professor Chris Bachmann.<\/p>\n

About Oilgae – Oilgae – Oil & Biodiesel from Algae<\/a><\/b> has a focus on biodiesel production from algae while also discussing alternative energy in general. Algae present an exciting possibility as a feedstock for biodiesel, and when you realise that oil was originally formed from algae – among other related plants – you think “Hey! Why not oil again from algae!”<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
