Renewable hydrogen from green algae
Article Abstract:
The research at the University of California, Berkeley, and the National Renewable Energy Laboratory (NREL) revealed a physiological way to manipulate algal cultures to photoproduce hydrogen (H2) without the need to continuously remove oxygen (O2). The goal of this research is to produce mutants with ten times less pigments than the wild-type strain, which would results in a parallel increase in H2 productivity per unit of photobioreactor surface area.

Quantifying food residuals in campus cafeteria
Article Abstract:
A research project to calculate the amount of food that students waste and to identify possible opportunities for reduction was undertaken at the Northern Michigan University (NMU) in Marquette. Findings show that an estimated 748 pounds of food waste was generated each weekday and 670 pounds on each weekend day, amounting to a loss of $9,296.
