Los Alamos Technology Strikes a Chord with Algal Biofuels
Date: 9.9.2009
An award-winning Los Alamos National Laboratory **sound-wave** technology is helping Solix Biofuels, Inc. optimize production of **algae-based** fuel in a cost-effective, scalable, and environmentally benign fashion - paving the way to lowering the carbon footprint of **biofuel** production.
Algae innards contain a high concentration of lipids, or oils. These lipids can be extracted by a relatively simple chemical process and concentrated into “**biocrude**” or “green gold” an alternative to crude oil that can be refined into biodiesel, gasoline, or even jet fuel.
