Using algae to clean up mine water
[UK] Polluted mine water is a global problem. Costly clean-up and remediation activities are often inappropriate because of their high cost and low return. Continue reading Using algae to clean up mine water
Sustainable fish feed and fuel for India
[India] Culturing Solutions, in a Joint Venture with Algae Biotech India, is breaking ground on a commercial algal production facility in Hyderabad, India. Continue reading Sustainable fish feed and fuel for India
Improving algal biocrude from hydrothermal liquefaction
[USA] Biocrude oil obtained from hydrothermal liquefaction (HTL) of algae can be an energy-efficient replacement for the fossil crude oil normally used in the production of fuels. HTL is a high-pressure, high-temperature process that allows scientists to mimic, in a matter of minutes, the natural geological Continue reading Improving algal biocrude from hydrothermal liquefaction
Algae bitumen could soon pave roads
Microalgae waste has been used by researchers to make asphalt and successfully replace petroleum-based substances in the process.
Researchers in France have proved the viability of bio-asphalt by demonstrating Continue reading Algae bitumen could soon pave roads
Seaweed problem could provide biofuel solution
Biofuels are controversial because they are often produced from food crops or grown on farmland, writes Paul Brown, creating extra pressure on land and forests. But a common algae found in abundance around coastlines and clogging up beaches may be the answer. Continue reading Seaweed problem could provide biofuel solution
