Tóm tắt

 The Consortium for Algal Biofuel Commercialization (CAB-Comm) was established in 2010 to conduct research to enable commercial viability of alternative liquid fuels produced from algal biomass. The main objective of CAB-Comm was to dramatically improve the viability of algae as a source of liquid fuels to meet US energy needs, by addressing several significant barriers to economic viability. To achieve this goal, CAB-Comm took a diverse set of approaches on three key aspects of the algal biofuels value chain: crop protection
  nutrient utilization and recycling
  and the development of genetic tools. These projects have been undertaken as collaboration between six academic institutions and two industrial partners: University of California, San Diego
  Scripps Institution of Oceanography
  University of Nebraska, Lincoln
  Rutgers University
  University of California, Davis
  Johns Hopkins University
  Sapphire Energy
  and Life Technologies.
