Reliance industries has announced that the company their scientists have developed cutting-edge innovative capabilities for algae strain development, cultivation, and harvesting.
The company said it will be making fuel using algae soon. It has announced that using algae unlocked endless possibilities such as the production of biofuel, bio-chemicals and nutritional food and feed.
But how do scientists convert tiny plants like algae into fuel? According to Harvard Political Review, scientists usually grow microalgae in large, open ponds or enclosed photobioreactors. At scale, the microalgae need to grow in open air.
After this, scientists harvest algae, break down cell walls using chemical solvent and extract inner lipids, proteins and carbs. Inner lipids, proteins and carbs then undergo final processing which turns them into biofuel.
