Rice study shows algae monocultures for biofuel stably grown in open reactors fed by municipal wastewater

Green Car Congress

Results of a 14-week study by Rice University researchers suggest that algae monocultures for biofuel feedstock can be grown in open tank bioreactors using municipal wastewater as a nutrient source. More than 80% of lipids were converted to FAME indicating potentially high production for conversion to biodiesel (up to 0.9

Georgia Tech team develops high-performance intermediate-temperature sold-oxide fuel cell

Green Car Congress

A team from Georgia Tech, with colleagues at the university of Kansas, has designed a high-performance solid-oxide fuel cell that operates directly on nearly dry (only ~3.5 The new one needs only about 500 degrees—a notch cooler than automobile combustion engines, which run at around 600 degrees Celsius.
