“The information produced from these studies will be of benefit to the algae-to-biofuel industry and assist in the company's efforts to establish a carbon credit program for commercial algae operations,” PetroSun said.
The algae-derived batches of biodiesel will be sent to Carnegie Mellon, University of California, Los Angeles (UCLA) and NextEnergy, a non-profit organization. The UCLA program is funded by a multi-year grant from the US Department of Energy.
