As global energy use continues to rise, the demand for renewable energy sources such as biofuels is also growing—especially in the transportation sector. Now, researchers at The University of Texas at ...

Microalgae have been used by the Chinese for medicinal and nutritional purposes for thousands of years in the belief they could cure almost any health condition. The idea that microalgae have ...

New research using real-world data casts doubt on the energy efficiency of diesel alternatives that come from phytoplankton. Biofuels made from algae have had their time in the sun, with years of ...

A cross-institutional collaboration has developed a technique to repartition carbon resources from carbohydrates to lipids in microalgae. It is hoped that this method can be applied to biofuel ...

Microalgae (phytoplankton), unlike macroalgae (seaweed), are single-cell microscopic organisms that live in freshwater or marine ecosystems. Through their growth, they produce biomass, which is ...

Biofuels have been identified by the International Energy Agency as one option for limiting transportation-related greenhouse gas emissions. However, to enable their development, we need to diversify ...
