After considerable study, we have concluded that biofuels from photosynthetic algae have potential benefits and advantages:  Algae can be grown using land and water unsuitable for plant or food production, unlike some other first- and second-generation biofuel feedstocks;  Select species of algae produce bio-oils through the natural process of photosynthesis \u2014 requiring only sunlight, water and carbon dioxide. &#8221; <\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/bit.ly\/bko7FG\">http:\/\/bit.ly\/bko7FG<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Department of Energy awards Dupont and partners funding for research into algae derived next-gen biofuels. &#8230; &#8220;The macroalgae-to-isobutanol project will focus on: improving domestic macroalgae aquaculture; converting macroalgae to bio-available sugars; converting those sugars to isobutanol; and economic and environmental optimization of the production process.
