• Ancient Protein May be Key to Unlocking Potential of Algae Biofuels

  
  Gas 2.0 — Authority: 605
  In a discovery that should help sustainable algae biofuels make the leap from an exotic curiosity to a mainstream fuel, researchers from the Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory have identified an ancient protein that helps keep green algae from imbibing too much sunlight during photosynthesis . The ...

• Music Video: Frank Turner – “Photosynthesis”

  
  ReadJunk.com — Authority: 145
  Just as Frank Turner’s new album “Poetry of the Deed” came out, I discovered his album from 2008 called “Love Ire & Song.” I don’t know which album I like better, his newest or one from last year but I listen to them both at least 5 times a week. “Photosynthesis” is one of those [...]

• Photosynthesis, phages and structures: there’s treasure everywhere!

  
  Byte Size Biology — Authority: 482
  Here’s a really cool work, published this September in Nature.. Why did I choose this work?  Well, it’s a major discovery, and it’s all done using bioinformatics, and fairly simple bioinformatics at that. The power of metagenomics and bioinfromatics: in a mass of data you just have to know what you are looking ...

• Turning Algae Into Sustainable Hydrogen-Based Fuel

  
  Move Trends Real Estate Blog - The Leader in Online Real Estate — Authority: 142
  Algae have become an important part of environmental research in recent years. They have even been used in abandoned mines to create biofuel, and now, with the quest to make hydrogen an alternative fuel source without relying on an expensive, high-energy process, algae have yet again come to the fore-front of green ...

• Forget biodiesel, algae could produce hydrogen

  
  Autoblog Green — Authority: 690
  Filed under: Emerging Technologies , Hydrogen Gephyrocapsa oceanica - Wikimedia Commons In recent years, algae has gotten a fair bit of attention for its potential use as a feedstock for producing biodiesel. While the net carbon output of algae sourced liquid fuels could be a huge boon to the environment, ...

• Tennessee Scientists Generate Hydrogen With Photosynthesis

  
  The Green Optimistic — Authority: 432
  Prof. Bruce isolated the core of the photosynthetic process from certain algae, and proved that, if coupled with a platinum catalyst, it could produce hydrogen in the presence of light. Photosynthesis is at the base of our fossil fuel energy, because it comes from the plants that lived here millions of years ago - ...

• Using photosynthesis to power hydrogen production

  
  Ars Technica — Authority: 738
  The processes we use to obtain fuel, from pumping fossil fuels up from beneath the ocean to harvesting crops to turn into ethanol, create many environmental and practical concerns. These types of fuel work fine with the current generation of cars, but hydrogen has sometimes been touted as the fuel of the future. A ...

• Sunlight and Water to Hydrogen and Electricity

  
  New Energy and Fuel — Authority: 125
  Chemist Daniel Nocera of MIT made news by trying to mimic photosynthesis, and improve on it. The idea seems simple: split water into hydrogen and oxygen with sunlight, and then recombine them which releases the energy in a fuel cell when the power is needed.  The goal is to do both these things cheaply.  Nocera has ...

• Science inches closer to artificial photosynthesis, solar fuels

  
  Greenbang — Authority: 481
  Scientists are making progress toward developing an “artificial leaf” that mimics a real leaf’s chemical magic with photosynthesis — but instead converts sunlight and water into a liquid fuel such as methanol for cars and trucks . Energy experts recently discussed such technologies during a symposium aimed ...
