Jim Lane: Where are we with algae biofuels?
The state of R&D so far. 4 NAABB advances have brought the cost of algae biocrude oil down to $7.50 per gallon.
3 roadblocks remain between today’s cost and $3.00.
In our two-part series, we look first at the breakthroughs that have radically changed the costs and outlook. In Part II Continue reading Jim Lane: Where are we with algae biofuels?
