The 'Bio' in Biofuels: New Energy from Ancient Life

from Lawrence Livermore National Lab · host UCTV: Lawrence Livermore National Laboratory

The most ancient forms of life - bacteria - are exceptionally tiny organisms, yet they have contributed in big ways to our planet. Although long recognized for causing disease, microbes have had a tremendous impact on our survival, and now can help us solve some of our urgent energy problems. Unlike fossil fuels, the microbial production of biofuels represents a new source of energy that can be constantly renewed.
