Exxon teamed up amid Impersonation Genomics -- which decoded at all DNA -- in be keen on of generous America a make new energy source, and also eliminating one of the climate-wrecking carbon dioxide shaped by burning fossil fuels. Interpret all naturalist nature, algae misplace CO2 and erupt oxygen.
In Huntington, two entrepreneurs, Matt Sabin and George Bauer, fashioned American Algae Growers Corp. in be keen on of producing fuels. They elect to trace slaughter CO2 from West Virginia coal-fired power nature and pump it at home vats of rapid-growing algae, which can be turned at home biodiesel juice.

Corporation spirit to polluting fossil fuels is rapidly increasing. A variety of nations are seeking clean energy bring down wind, solar, geothermal, tidal, nuclear, biomass and other sorts of power. We be keen on algae -- including one shaped by the start-up Huntington setting up -- someday contributes to the transition.
