We're sorry, but this page requires a browser with at least basic support for Cascading Style Sheets (CSS).

Any relatively modern browser (Internet Explorer 5+, Mozilla Firefox, Netscape 6+) should work.  In the meantime, we have tried to design this site to "fail gracefully" so that, in theory, you can still at least read the content, even if it isn't pretty and as well-structured as we would like.

We apologize for any inconvenience, but if you are still using such an old browser, you are also likely at high risk for viruses and other destructive invasions of your computer.  You really should upgrade even if just for your own online safety and security.

Biodiesel

Algae

Some groups have developed methods of extracting oils from algae, which can be processed into biodiesel. Over the past several years, the US National Renewable Energy Lab has experimented with using algae as a biodiesel source. Some algae have greater than 50% natural oil content, making these ideal for biodiesel harvesting.

Perhaps a more interesting idea comes from GreenFuel Technologies of Cambridge, MA. Not only are they using algae for biodiesel production, but their algae obtains its carbon dioxide from power plant smokestacks. This company is growing algae for biodiesel use, while at the same time, the algae is acting as a filter to catch some of the greenhouse gases produced by traditional power plants.
