Last June, EnergyBoom wrote about One Block off the Grid (1BOG), a community campaign that groups together homeowners in California and elsewhere interested in purchasing rooftop solar systems. Since then, the organization has made stride

While every one in the algae biofuels industry is working on bringing down costs, scaling up production, driving more efficiency, and uniformly expecting algae to be a commercially viable fuel only 6-12 years from now, a Georgetown, South Carolina start-up called Renewed World Energies (RWE) says it has achieved a technology breakthrough which allo

Sapphire Energy views the challenges with mass cultivation and production of algae as an agricultural problem, in terms of yield, water availability and cost, its CEO Jason Pyle said at a recent algae biomass summit.

To generate fuel from algae, San Francisco-based Solazyme uses an indirect photosynthesis bioproduction method. 

The U. S. Department of Energy’s (DOE) National Renewable Energy Laboratory (NREL) is seeking project proposals as part of recently announced DOE funding to accelerate commercialization of solar energy technologies.  NREL also announced partnerships with 13 small U.S.
