Title: Nanoparticle Technology for Biorefinery of Non-Food Source Feedstocks

Program Document ·
OSTI ID:1218778

This factsheet describes a research project whose specific goals are as follows: (1) to selectively isolate fuel-relevant hydrocarbons from live microalgae by using mesoporous material, (2) to convert microalgae-based hydrocarbons and waste oils to biodiesel in a single step using a mesoporous mixed metal-oxide catalyst, and (3) to develop this research to the point of commercialization in 3 to 5 years.
