Eco Factor: Algae used to produce steady supply of hydrogen when exposed to light. While the world is looking for possible alternatives to fossil fuels, new findings from a team of researchers at the University of Tennessee might have an answer...

Eco Factor: Vertical farm uses algae to generate biofuel. The dependence on fossil fuels needs a break, so governments are shifting their focus on better sources to generate better fuels. Bio-fuel made from algae can be the answer only if there is.

Eco Factor: New technology to transform algae into a true competitor of petroleum. Origin Oil has unveiled its breakthrough technology to convert algae into a true competitor of petroleum. The first-ever comprehensive algae production model was...

Eco Factor: High-performance batteries made from algae. Of all the materials that have been used to make batteries, algae seems the most uncommon, but scientists over at Uppsala University in Sweden have created a lightweight, flexible battery...

Eco Factor: Photobioreactor uses algae to generate fuel. We recently showcased Emergent Architecture’s Flower Street Bioreactor that was designed to be installed in Los Angeles. The architecture firm has designed an even better bioreactor system.

Eco Factor: Bioreactor generates biofuel from algae. Modern technology, no matter how advanced it might be, depends on energy and fuel for survival. The overdependence on technological innovations and the rapid decline in fossil fuel reserves has..

Eco Factor: Oxygen-generating installation can bring new life to architecture projects. The founders of ecoLogicStudio have unveiled their latest project, the STEMcloud 2.0, which proposes the development of an architectural prototype serving as..

Eco Factor: Algae to be used for cheap ethanol production. In an effort to fuel the world with clean and cheap energy, Dow Chemical and Algenol Biofuels have partnered to build algae farms that can convert carbon dioxide into ethanol, which can...

Eco Factor: Algae harvesting technology for bio-fuel. Apart from planning space missions and looking for ways to shift mankind to extraterrestrial locations, researchers at NASA are also developing tech that could make Earth a better place to live.

Eco Factor: Carbon neutral processes could turn canal algae into cheap, green power. Using algae for fuel is not a new concept, but using it to generate megawatts of clean electricity is the newest in eco technology that is being experimented with.
