our idea seeks to change this by using algae, which grow at a very high rate and can be beneficial removing carbon dioxide from the air and unwanted nutrients from polluted waters, and converting it into butanol. butanol has a higher energy content per gallon than ethanol, and can be used directly in gasoline engines, making it a better choice.

through the process we are designing we hope to create a more sensible path toward green transportation fuels in the future.
