Algae Biodiesel &
Algae Oil
- Mutant Algae is Hydrogen Factory – Feb 2006, Wired - Researchers at the University of California at Berkeley have engineered a strain of Pond Scum that could, with further refinements, produce vast amounts of hydrogen through photosynthesis. The work, led by plant physiologist Tasios Melis, is so far unpublished. But if it proves correct, it would mean a major breakthrough in using algae as an industrial factory, not only for hydrogen, but for a wide range of products, from biodiesel to cosmetics.

About Oilgae - Oilgae - Oil & Biodiesel from Algae
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 others - you think "Hey! Why not oil
again from algae!"
To facilitate exploration of oil production from algae as well as exploration
of other alternative energy avenues, Oilgae provides web links, directory,
and related resources for algae-based biofuels / biodiesel along with inputs
on new inventions, discoveries & breakthroughs in other alternative
energy domains such as Solar Wind nuclear, hydro, Geothermal hydrogen
& fuel cells, gravitational, geothemal, human-powered, ocean & Wave /
Tidal energy.
