Things Are Good

Cars love inefficiently sucking down dead dinosaur juice, though hopefully for not much longer. In the meantime some companies have figured ways to produce cellulosic ethanol cheaply using more sustainable ways – basically a cheaper way to make biofuel for cars to burn on their way to wherever cars go.
Modern biofuels are better to [...]

The price for a barrel of oil is on the rise again and as a result the interest in alternative fuel is on the rise. A startup has recently partnered with Dow chemicals (I know, not the best reputation) to exploit their new method of farming algae for biofuel production. Their new process can decrease [...]

A recent test flight of a unmodified airliner that used an algae-based biofuel was a great success! This is good news for air travelers as it will mean that their carbon footprint will be greatly reduced when airliners switch to the more efficient biofuel.
The test by Houston-based Continental, the fourth-largest U.S. airline, is a step [...]

Researchers in Thailand have found another species of algae that is a promising biofuel. This of course, should come to no surprise to regular Things Are Good readers because I love how algae will save us all, just look at all these good news algae posts.
Dr Leesing is confident that the algae can be effectively [...]

Algae is freaking awesome! Here’s more information on the goo of goodness: it can be used as fuel for nearly any engine.
I’m utterly convinced that if we heavily funded algae research we could create amazing fuels, clean the air, and basically save the world.
ome oils created by algae might be appropriate for fueling [...]
