Science Foundation Arizona, Supporting Innovative Research to Make Fuel from Algae a Reality

Science Foundation Arizona (SFAz) is a 501 C3 private public partnership that builds and strengthens scientific and education infrastructure in areas of greatest strategic importance to the state These areas comprise advanced communications, biomedicine and sustainable systems including renewable energies. In this video, SFAz has teamed with researchers at Arizona State University to utilize tiny microorganisms that take advantage of the abundant southwest sunshine to produce a high energy biofuel for airplanes and jets. This renewable energy technology will lessen our dependence on foreign oil and has an estimated yield many times greater than corn or other plant -based approaches to biofuel development. For more information please go to www.sfaz.org. In the video are Arizona State University researchers Qiang Hu and Milton Sommerfeld and William C. Harris, President and CEO Science Foundation Arizona.
