Advanced Algal Systems: The Digest’s 2020 Multi-Slide Guide to Photosynthetic Production of Biodiesel by Cyanobacteria

The U.S. Department of Energy’s Bioenergy Technologies Office’s Bioenergy Technology Incubator 2 project is looking at how to directly produce ‘drop in’ ready biofuel (ethyl or methyl laurate) by cyanobacteria using CO2, water, and light as the main inputs.

Check out the latest results of this project like the successful production and excretion of methyl laurate and improved biofuel yields (current laurate production is at about 20 mg/L/day), how it can be scalable with limited processing needs, and more.
