In a lab in Southern San Fransico, researchers have developed a new way to produce cheep biofuel. Researchers place the algae in stainless-steel containers with no sunlight. They then feed te algae sugar, which makes it produce various types of oil, which can be extracted. After being extracted, they can be developed into various types of feuls, such as diesel or jet fuel. Different strains of algae can produce different types of oils. Some can produce oils very similar to those in soy beans, others oil thats very similar to light crude petroleum.
