From Gunk to Gas: A Biofuels Podcast

Jeff Muhs, Executive Director of the Sustainable Energy Laboratory at Utah State University, discusses how producing biofuels from algae domestically vs. sourcing fossil fuel from overseas can help keep our military’s jets and vehicles running during a time of crisis.

Muhs oversees a USTAR-funded project to explore the production of biofuels using sophisticated bio-reactors that grow oil-rich algae. The USU team is working hard to reduce America’s dependence on foreign energy supplies and make algae-based fuel production a cost-effective alternative energy source.
