Explore the hidden costs of algae biofuel production and discover why it may not be the green solution we hoped. Algal Biomass Association. The culprit, the researchers say, is fertilizer. Growing ...

The development of cost-competitive algae biofuel production will require much more long-term research, development and demonstration, researchers say. In the meantime, several non-fuel applications ...

LONDON (Reuters) - Water management company Aqualia plans to launch a commercial-scale demonstration project using waste water to cultivate algae for biofuel production, which could fuel 400 vehicles, ...

AlgaeSim, a dynamic multiple-systems (C, N, P) mass balance model, was developed to explore the potential for algae biomass production from wastewater by coupling two photobioreactors into the main ...

A new report from the Energy Biosciences Institute (EBI) in Berkeley projects that development of cost-competitive algae biofuel production will require much more long-term research, development and ...

(Nanowerk News) There's an ancient group of algae that evolved in the world's oceans before our backboned ancestors crawled onto land. They are so numerous that their gigantic blooms can affect the ...

The strain of algae, Chlamydomonas reinhardtii, being used for the experiment. In the dark? That’s not how we normally think of plants being grown. But it’s a method that could be used to grow algae ...

The combustion of fossil fuels drives the world's energy production, but it also emits carbon dioxide (CO2) and other greenhouse gases. In recent years, researchers have worked to cultivate ...

Algae holds great promise as a source of biofuel: it’s rich in oil like corn, but it can be cultivated without competing for land with food crops, and researchers are developing energy-efficient ways ...

This article was originally published on The Conversation. Read the original article. Algal biofuels are in trouble. This alternative fuel source could help reduce overall carbon emissions without ...

In a previous article - An Algal Biofuel Obituary - I discussed the overhyped biofuel companies in that space, and the failures of numerous start-ups that couldn't deliver on their promises, after ...

Sarah Loftus receives funding from the National Science Foundation. Health food enthusiasts routinely shell out over US$30 per pound for dried algae powder to whip up green smoothies to fuel their ...
