These activities will accelerate the ability to overcome several key barriers identified in the Algal Biofuels Roadmap, including: feedstock supply (strain development and cultivation); feedstock logistics (harvesting and extraction); and conversion (production of fuels and co-products). Low-cost one-step syngas to distillates.
