Of the many feedstocks that can be used for biodiesel, algae are emerging as the clear winner because significant biomass can be produced on non-arable lands (thus avoiding the food vs. fuel debate) and CO2 (a greenhouse gas) supports their growth.  &#8220;Our proprietary methodology for developing specific growth and productivity traits will help any algal production system improve its output of inexpensive, oil-rich algae as the raw material for the generation of biofuel,&#8221; says Biology Professor Rose Ann Cattolico, developer of the AXI technology at the University of Washington.<\/p>\n<p>Full news release <a href=\"http:\/\/www.earthtimes.org\/articles\/show\/investment-firm-allied-minds-to,502134.shtml\">from here<\/a><\/p>\n<p>By the way, have you <a href=\"http:\/\/www.oilgae.com\/blog\/feed\/rss.xml\">subscribed to the Oilgae Blog?<\/a><\/p>\n<p><b><span style=\"color:red;\">Nature <span style=\"color:blue;\"><a href=\"http:\/\/www.oilgae.com\/ref\/oil\/or\/or.html\">gave us<\/a><\/span> oil from algae; perhaps <span style=\"color:blue;\"><a href=\"http:\/\/www.oilgae.com\/ref\/story\/story.html\">we should try<\/a><\/span> Nature&#8217;s way again<\/span><\/b><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>You are at: Oilgae Blog.
