Algae – There’s more to that green stuff than we think

One of the latest hot green fuels is algae oil also referred to as algae fuel. Algae fuel is a biofuel which is derived from algae. The movement is in its infancy but does show some promise and seems to have less of an environmental impact than corn.

  1. Algenol
  2. Sapphire
  3. Solazyme
  4. Synthetic Genomics
