IIT Roorkee scientists create low-cost fuel from algae
Researchers at IIT Roorkee have come up with a new method for production of biofuel using algae. The team used crude glycerol, a low-cost organic carbon source which enhances lipid accumulation in algae and is the target material for biodiesel production. The method also minimises waste by using materials like agro-waste, molasses and fruits extracts, said the researchers.
