Super algae: A new source of biofuel from the University of Texas

The debate over the feasibility of biofuels may be coming to an end. Researchers at the University of Texas have found a way to produce nanocellulose – a primary component in many kinds of biofuels – from algae. The discovery could allow for biofuels – as well as a multitude of other materials – to be harvested from the algae, rendering the complaints about growing the raw components for biofuels moot.
