					<description><![CDATA[<p>A prototype of the first ‘living building’ that is surrounded with panels containing microalgae will be launched at the 2013 International Building Exhibition in Hamburg, Germany. The microalgae-filled panels are dual purpose as they give shade against sunlight and generate about 10% of the building’s electricity needs. An interesting, eco-friendly architecture that provides bio-adaptive lighting, [&#8230;]</p>

					<description><![CDATA[<p>I don't know why, but each time a biofuel solution rises up from the masses of alternative energy sources, later there are news saying biofuel is still more polluting than fossil fuel. Now it's time for algae biofuels to pass through the test of actual "alga-to-wheel" pollution.</p>

					<description><![CDATA[<p>Here's an interesting idea to cultivate algae that could be transformed into biodiesel. The basic idea is that people should use the stable currents that exist in the Pacific ocean to carry algae from one point to another, time during which the algae should mature with the ocean's support and some slowly-dissolving nutrients that should float along with them.</p>

					<description><![CDATA[<p>Glycerin is the most important component in many of the products we use, from soap to cosmetics, foods and pharmaceuticals. We even use it for biofuel production, algae growth and fuel cells. But it seems that in this moment glycerin really represents an issue as the large quantity developed by biofuel refineries cannot be assimilated by the market. The excess glycerin is incinerated on the market or illegally disposed.</p>

What we often hear is that piles of garbage have saturated square kilometers in big cities, and that by making us comfortable, the garbage company (and, indirectly, us) pollutes the soil and the environment on a very large scale.</p>

					<description><![CDATA[<p>It's interesting to know, when you're aboard a plane, that its fuel is derived from algae, and you practically fly on a living creature's output. What's more interesting when you're in an airplane is knowing that those algae were fed with the CO2 you exhaled when sitting and waiting for the airplane... in the airport!</p>

					<description><![CDATA[<p>Biodiesel has recently become a very controversed biofuel. It can be obtained from vegetable oil, animal fats, used cooking oil, microalgae and is a potential replacement of petroleum-based diesel fuel. By doing some research, NIST scientists found out some additives that make biofuels act better at high temperatures.</p>

Mano Misra, Susanta Mohapatra, and Narasimharao Kondamudi discovered that spent coffee grounds contain 11 to 20% oil by weight, as much as traditional biodiesel sources of palm, rapeseed or soybean oil.</p>

He invented a new revolutionary  way of making biodiesel out of waste oils, sparing the crops for feeding the poor (?). His method implies the mixing of alcohol and coconut oil, soybean oil, and even algae. All [&#8230;]</p>
