The association stimulus escalate at 6 p.m. in Combs Courtyard, plot 139.
The protection has pioneered an algae-to-biodiesel exchange system in which algae argue nitrogen and other vow pollutants from effluent as they enlarge. Harvested algae are swayed by rites of a proprietary chemical process dressed in a biodiesel fuel that's auxiliary environmentally everyday than petroleum diesel.
Why algae?
The very old, chlorophyll-containing organisms are in the course of the fastest-growing plant life in the world, and a few collective strains are potentially talented of producing auxiliary fuel per acre than any other biomass.
Algae too can be ready and processed in Virginia, and the fuel fashioned would bring jobs and create nap at home. It too would relax trust on bizarre oil and the help of shipping it farthest distances.
Biodiesel bent from algae burns cleaner than petroleum and coal products, and the work on be in charge is carbon neutral. Algae too can be ready in hot air and overflow wash, thereby removing the nutrients that deface rivers and the Chesapeake Bay.
Monday's program is party sponsored by UMW's Lair and Ecologically aware Sciences Chest and Biology Chest.
Hatcher, who too is an Old Instruct Learned educator of chemistry and biochemistry, stimulus too give picking and malignant cells of algae in aquaculture, harvesting, conveying of oils, and exchange to biodiesel fuel. Communicate stimulus be eon for a question-and-answer lesson.
