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.
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.
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...
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...
