Genifuel Licenses High-yield Algae-to-Natural Gas Process from PNNL

Green Car Congress

The license agreement moves this technology for renewable energy production a step closer to commercial reality. Genifuel grows aquatic biomass, such as algae, in shallow ponds or troughs, then harvests and processes the biomass for conversion using the PNNL technology.
