My newest essay looks at a guy who was ranked #57 on Time Magazine’s list of the 100 most influential people in the world for 2008. He is a biofuels engineer whom I met earlier this month at the Fletcher School of Tufts University.
This person intends to solve three of the planet’s most significant problems all at the same time. They are:
1. Clean air.
2. Renewable food.
3. Sustainable fuel.
My exploration includes a technological overview of what it would take to grown our own fuel, a general rationale for biofuels and specific support of algae-driven solutions, a business case and a review of regulatory and policy concerns.
