I do hope readers were able to see some of the compiled tweets that I posted from the recently-held BIO World Congress in Montreal. This Monday, I will be tweeting a bit on Jefferies’ Industrial … Continue reading »

DOE awards $18m grant to algae-based projects

Let me post this before I leave for Montreal, Canada, today. The US Department of Energy (DOE) recently announced six projects that will receive up to $18 million in funding to reduce the modeled price of algae-based biofuels to less than $5 per gasoline gallon equivalent (gge) by 2019. Algal biomass can be converted to … Continue reading »
