Micro-algae explored as renewable energyBuenos Aires (UPI) Mar 18, 2009 Micro-algae as a source of cheap renewable energy are at the center of new research being conducted at Argentina's National Technological University. The use of algae as a source of energy is being researched in different countries across the world and is at an advanced stage in the United States. But as research has grown so has the realization that converting algae into energy may not be as cost-effective as originally thought possible. As a result, new research and investigation has b ... read more |

First Wild Grass Species And Model System For Energy Crops SequencedWalnut Creek CA (SPX) Feb 15, 2010 As the U.S. Department of Energy (DOE) works toward developing sustainable sources of clean renewable energy, perennial grasses have emerged as major candidates for the commercial production of cellulosic biofuels from feedstocks. However, little is known about the specific biological traits of the grasses that might contribute to their usefulness for energy production, in part because such grasses typically have long lifecycles and possess large, complex genomes, making them difficult to study. ... read more |
