Energy storage technology is seen as a way to help even out the imbalance in supply and demand by storing excess energy during periods of high production and using it when needed. Maplewell Energy , a Colorado-based company which makes software that automates these decisions, hopes to make that easy for commercial customers.

Both regions will benefit from rapidly expanding biofuels markets, ample land and water resources, and cheap labor, Pike suggests. A commitment to cellulosic ethanol and other advanced biofuels options will also divert much-needed capital away from early algae projects, further hampering widespread commercialization over the next decade.
