EPA honors winners of the 20th Annual Presidential Green Chemistry Challenge; advanced biofuels

Green Car Congress

The algae uses CO 2 from air or industrial emitters with sunlight and saltwater to create fuel while reducing the carbon footprint, costs and water usage, with no reliance on food crops as feedstocks. This has led to improved biofuel productivity, higher economic returns, minimal waste production, and a lower carbon footprint.
