Joule Biotechnologies SolarConverter System
by Brian Yalung on Monday, November 16th, 2009
Biodiesel was known to be made possible from plants but this is one system from Joules Biotechnologies that doesn’t produces the same algae-based fuel by redesigning organisms and their functionality. They require no farmland to grow corn or other feedstock. They genetically engineered organisms that use photosynthesis to directly create the molecules that form the basis of diesel.
Their SolarConverter array system suspends these organisms in a solution within a light-permeable structure that looks something like a solar panel array. When directed to sunlight, the organisms turn CO2 and the sunlight into biodiesel. Certainly a new alternative to get some fuel in this time of crisis.
