Israel uses seaweed to make biofuels

Israeli newspaper *Ha’aretz* recently reported on innovative research being conducted by Israeli scientists who are exploring the potential of seaweed and algae to produce biofuels. The study focuses on using marine plants to generate oil, which can then be converted into sustainable energy sources. According to researcher Isaac Burgen, the technology involves capturing carbon dioxide emissions from power plants and feeding them into an algae cultivation system. This process not only reduces greenhouse gas emissions but also promotes the growth of algae, which can be processed into vegetable oil. This oil, in turn, can be refined into biofuel, offering a promising alternative to traditional fossil fuels. Professor Mutih Hershkovitz from Ben-Gurion University highlighted another breakthrough in their research. His team has developed a method to extract usable oil from leftover fats found in processed meats and plant-based oils. Unlike other biofuels that require blending with conventional fuels, their product is a pure diesel substitute that can be directly used in vehicles. The team has successfully removed oxygen from the oil, creating a fuel that closely resembles standard diesel. This development marks a significant step forward in the field of renewable energy, as it offers a more efficient and environmentally friendly solution for transportation. With ongoing research and improvements, this technology could play a key role in reducing global carbon footprints and promoting sustainable energy use.
