Algal biocrude obtained from CIJMs converts successfully into biodiesel, and cascades of CIJMs increase the net lipid production. That fuel is then mixed with diesel fuel to power long-haul trucks, tractors and other large diesel-powered machinery. What’s left is a precursor, the biocrude, used to produce algae-based biofuel.
