Veillette states that the algae grows well naturally in the St. Lawrence estuary and is able to produce good-quality biodiesel, owing to its special characteristics. The fuel doesn\u2019t crystallize quickly in the cold, to state one.<\/p>\n<p>According to him, algal biodiesel possess some compounds that make the fuel suitable for use in cold climates. They are also environmentally friendly as they are able to mitigate CO2 about twice their weight. Unlike other biofuel crops, they don\u2019t occupy the agricultural lands. With the growing price of gas, algae biofuels are gaining popularity as an alternative source of energy.<\/p>\n<p>Veillette has been working on the project for six months and said he has already seen promising results. He has three years to finish the project, and hopes the fuel he produces meets North American standards.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/www.cbc.ca\/news\/canada\/montreal\/story\/2011\/06\/19\/turning-algae-into-biofuel.html\">http:\/\/www.cbc.ca\/news\/canada\/montreal\/story\/2011\/06\/19\/turning-algae-into-biofuel.html<\/a><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Marc Veillette, a researcher from the Sherbrooke University, Canada is attempting to develop a new good-quality biodiesel from the algae isolated from St. Lawrence River.
