EU research: Algal biofuels cannot meet expectations

Plantations International Information Algal biofuel manufacturing is not living up to expectations, impeded by high vital resource demand, technical problems, as well as high expenses, a new research finds. According to a review by the European Payment Joint Research study Center (JRC), regardless of high expectations as well as considerable research and also investment, technological alternatives are still in developing stages and vital sources for algal development are still too burdensome for economically practical manufacturing of algal biofuels. No massive, office algae-to-biofuels centers have been applied up till the end of 2015. The main barriers to large deployment of both macro- [...]

College of Kentucky algal biofuels research striking the ground in China

Plantations International Information The University of Kentucky Establishment for Applied Power Study (CAER) is partnering with Lianhenghui Investment Co. to construct a five-acre algae production center in Zhengzhou, China. The establishment will feature the center's unique photobioreactor innovation for growing algae, which will certainly be made use of for the manufacturing of gases, nutraceuticals, as well as bioplastics. Lianhenggui is also constructing a second, smaller sized center in Zhengzhou, which will certainly use the very same technology to grow algae for the production of nutraceuticals. Microalgae have actually attracted considerable interest in the last few years as a high-yield sustainable feedstock [...]

Michigan State University partners with ExxonMobil to improve algal biofuels

Plantations International Information A new $ 1 million (appr. EUR890,000) connection in between Michigan State University (MSU) and also ExxonMobil will certainly increase research study developed to advance the essential scientific research required to progress algae-based fuels. The general objective of the partnership is to enhance the effectiveness of photosynthesis in microalgae to create biofuels and bioproducts. The trick to bioenergy is the effectiveness of photosynthesis, the procedure algae usage to record solar power and also the very first step in converting the power from the sun into a fluid gas. Previous research has actually shown that algae photosynthesis can be [...]
