Algae front-runner GreenFuel shuts down

Bound to happen. This stuff will all come back in due time and the information that they gathered won't be a complete waste. The science has been advanced some. Higher fuel prices will drive this sorta tech more than anything else and right now there's just not enough pressure on the price of crude.

 

that is a bummer because the need for highly concentrated energy fuel wont be met by other needs for decades... but to be honest with ya, not sure i want something that continues to promote burning of anything.

still the technology can be segway'd into several other fields which would provide a great benefit

 

awww.. how sad.. i really wanted to see something made out of this... perhaps better management in the future.. and less employess for a bunch of algae tubes...

 

That's too bad. I remember reading about them a year or two ago when I saw the bag process. I didn't think the bags would work, but had an idea of a replacement that might...based on an equipment model that a vendor handed out many years ago. Sounded like they needed a good semiworks/pilot plant engineer to put them over the top.
