[Report from Kazakh on December 15] Scientists from Synthetic Genes (SGI) and ExxonMobil have developed a new type of algae that converts carbon into the largest amount of fat energy available today. Fat can be processed into biodiesel.
According to the United Press International, although algae use carbon dioxide to produce fat is not new, the maximum amount of fat that new algae can produce is a focus of attention, and this new type of fatty seaweed will make this strain more suitable for industrialization. Production of biofuels.
Successful development of seaweed biodiesel at the commercial level will provide some tangible benefits. For example, this type of fuel emits less greenhouse gases than conventional energy sources, which will help promote human transition to low-emission energy. In addition, industrial-scale algae production does not depend on food production compared to biofuel feedstocks such as corn.
The increase in the amount of seaweed fat does not occur overnight. SGI and ExxonMobil began working together on this project in 2009. SGI has long used synthetic genetics to create a variety of systems to help address the challenges of global sustainability, with research and development in medicines, vaccines and nutrition. ExxonMobil is trying to solve sustainable energy problems through algae.
To promote the production of algae fat, SGI scientists and ExxonMobil's peers conducted an in-depth analysis of nutrition and adjusted part of the nitrogen assimilation of the algae gene, which is an essential nutrient. This change causes about 40% of the algae's mass to become fat, more than double the fat content of traditional algae.
ExxonMobil scientist Alessandro Faldi pointed out that algae may be easier to produce than other biofuel sources such as corn and soybeans because algae do not require arable land and fresh water.
Rob Brown, senior director of SGI and the chief scientist of the algae project, also said that the results of this research are of great significance. At the moment of the success of the experiment, everyone is cheering for it. This will be a possible historical change. Moment.
However, Foday and Brown also stressed that this is only the first step. The challenges faced by the team still exist, but this latest breakthrough has pointed out the correct direction for the research. Based on this, SGI and Exxon will further strengthen in the future. Cooperation led to the development of biofuels based on algae production that can reach commercial scale. Verdi pointed out that in the future they need to increase the ability of algae to convert solar energy into biomass to further increase fat production, and will begin testing and producing more algae grown under various conditions, so there is still a long way to go. The road is going.
In short, innovation is a series of successes, and this latest breakthrough is an important step in making algae biodiesel a reality.
