Alternative Engergy Part 2 of 2 The biofuel developed for ASU's "Tubes in the Desert" project avoids many of the downsides presented by biofuels such as corn, cellulose or other crops/plants. Because it uses a microscopic bacteria as the fuel source, it doesn't compete with food crops and could yield a much larger amount of fuel per acre. The bacteria are grown in transparent tubes, hence the name. ASU researchers are also exploring the possibilities of microbial fuel cells -- tiny microbes that generate energy by feeding on waste. Panelists include: George Poste, DVM, Ph.D., Director, the Biodesign Institute; Michael Crow, ASU President; and Jonathan Fink, Ph.D., Director of ASU's Global Institute of Sustainability.
