Algae converted to butanol; fuel can be used in automobiles
Thursday, March 3, 2011 - http://bioenergy.checkbiotech.org/
A team of chemical engineers at the University of Arkansas has developed a method for converting common algae into butanol, a renewable fuel that can be used in existing combustible engines. The green technology benefits from and adds greater value to a process being used now to clean and oxygenate U.S. waterways by removing excess nitrogen and phosphorus from fertilizer in runoff.
