Algae captures CO2 to generate energy-rich fat, which can be refined into biofuels. The process is simple and potentially impactful. The challenge is engineering the technology able to refine algae biofuel at an...
Viridos and ExxonMobil have worked together for a decade now, driven by a single goal: Create a pathway to refine algae oils into low-emission diesel that can power trucks, boats, even planes.
Scaling production to have the technical ability to produce 10,000 barrels of algae biofuel a day is an ambitious target. But that’s what Viridos and ExxonMobil are working towards by 2025.
Biofuels made from algae are taking a place as a future fuel for heavy transport, shipping and aviation and are removing the classic biofuel dilemma of having to choose between farming for fuel or food.
Global transport is evolving – and getting greener – as a swathe of new energy sources have begun powering everything from cars to planes and all types of transport in between.
Underpinning Asia’s economic transformation is an ever-growing demand for reliable energy for power and transport. While a lot of it is currently generated by coal and oil, natural gas and renewables are also...
Diesel fuel refined from algae oils could transform how we power everything from automobiles to jet planes. The stuff is not only energy-rich—it also emits significantly fewer greenhouse gases...
Viridos and ExxonMobil have worked together to turn algae into a low-emission transportation fuel for a number of years. It’s an ambitious project that’s inspired scientists and engineers in labs coast to coast...
