Researchers Suggest Microalgal Biofuels Could Be Sustainable and Economical in 10-15 Years

Green Car Congress

Algae store chemical energy in the form of oils such as neutral lipids or triglycerides; the algal oil can be extracted and converted into biodiesel by transesterification with short-chain alcohols or by hydrogenation of fatty acids into linear hydrocarbons for drop-in fuel components.

2022—The Year the Hydrogen Economy Launched?

Cars That Think

Among the technological visions that seem perpetually futuristic (think commercial nuclear fusion and maglev trains), the hydrogen economy has always been tantalizing. Now, after decades of false starts and overly optimistic projections, several factors are giving an unprecedented lift to clean hydrogen.
