There are hundreds of thousands of different algae species on Earth. They account for approximately half of the net photosynthesis on the planet, yet they have not been used in any kind of a large scale by humanity, with just a few exceptions. And yet, the biomass is easy to transform into useful products, including fuels, and they contain many other natural products that have high value.
Los Alamos National Laboratory, as part of the New Mexico Consortium— comprised of New Mexico's major research universities, the Lab, and key industry partners — is conducting research into using algae as a feed stock for a renewable source of fuels, and other products.
