At this algae research farm in California's Imperial Valley, work doesn't stop when the sun sets. There, day and night, scientists are working to develop the next generation of biofuels, 24-7. They test and analyze algae, researching and tracking its growth, circulating and flowing the algae so it can efficiently convert sunlight and CO2 into renewable, high-energy biofuel. Tiny, resilient, these living organisms could one day supply clean fuels to trucks, even planes and boats. That's why researchers are working to scale up production. By 2025, their goal is to have the technical ability to produce 10,000 barrels of algae biofuel a day, from sunrise to sunset. This farm is building our energy future.
