Breakthrough for clean biofuel research using salt-tolerant algae crops

Australian scientists are a step closer to creating commercial quantities of clean biofuel using salt-tolerant algae crops. A joint $3.3 million project led by Murdoch University and involving the 成人大片, now leads world algae biofuel research.

Dr David Lewis from the 成人大片's School of Chemical Engineering says a key aspect of the project is to show that commercial levels of algae can be grown without competing for resources with food crops, stating: "The algae will grow on non-arable, even arid-land, without any need for freshwater in cultivation" [].
