(1.18 Minutes) Solix
Solix Biofuels (http://www.solixbiofuels.com/) You're looking for a clean fuel that grows anywhere, needs only sunlight and water, and could produce enough oil to free the U.S. from its petroleum addiction? It's not ethanol you're after. Imagine converting oil from algae—yes, algae—into clean-burning biodiesel. Here's one start-up's plan to turn gas extremely green.

Research & Development

(9.20 Minutes) The Great Green Fuel Gamble (1 of 3)
The fuels' future seems uncertain, yet in a step that even green campaigners support, the industry is now investing to develop "second generation" biofuels from non-food crops like straw, woodchips and even algae. (You Tube (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fK__sOWZZDc) April 2, 2008)

(9.29 Minutes) The Great Green Fuel Gamble (2 of 3)
Research suggests that once the greenhouse gases produced by the process of growing the crops for biofuel are factored in - from ploughing the fields, making the fertiliser, harvesting the crops, processing them, to transporting the finished fuel - the environmental benefits are seriously compromised.

(2.5 Minutes) Algae Biodiesel on CNET
The technology website CNET.com mentioned Algae Biodiesel in a short segment. Considering that Algae grows quickly, is carbon neutral and the fuel (biodiesel) being produced will run in the most efficient internal combusion engines we currently use, this could well be the best alternative to petroleum. [Note: Produced before Valcent began doing it.] (You Tube (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=i82CXQX4yq4) Nov. 12, 2007)

(4 Minutes)How does the technlogy work?
GreenFuel's (http://www.greenfuelonline.com) algae bioreactor reduces CO2 by over 40% and NOx by over 80% from power plant smokestacks. The algae oil produced by the bioreactor can be converted to biofuels such as biodiesel and ethanol or can be dried and cofired. This video shows the bioreactor at work at the 20MW MIT Cogen power plant which successfully reduced greenhouse gases while producing a renewable energy source. (How does the technlogy work?
