Algae development going strong

Algae

This is going to be one very busy week so I'll posts as much as I can. This one is an update on algae-based biofuels.

The blog posted last week about ExxonMobil's milestone on their algae research with Synthetic Genomics. While some doubts continue on the economics of algae as biofuel feedstock (Vinod Khosla for example), the US Department of Energy (DOE) is eager to explore this field and recently announced their additional $24m grant for algal biofuels research.
