Algae Biofuel: Can Pond Scum Power the Planet?

Researchers have found a new way to manipulate how algae store energy, a discovery that could significantly boost biofuel production and carbon capture efforts. Typically, algae store energy as starch, which is vital for bioethanol production, but controlling this process has been difficult. The team at Uppsala University discovered that a specific protein called phototropin acts as a sensor for blue light, controlling the algae's metabolic decision to either grow immediately or store energy as

The cost of algae-based biofuel is still too high
