The Indian army is considering bio-fuel from alage as a way to reduce its
dependency on fossil fuel. The Defence Research
and Development Organisation (DRDO) - the research wing of the Indian
armed forces, is experimenting with bio-fuel for its military vehicles.
"From our existing literature we have identified at least 40 species
of algae from which bio-fuel could be extracted. Experiments are going
on and we hope to come with some interesting finds very soon," said
Sashi Bala Singh, director of the Defence Institute of Physiology and
Allied Sciences (DIPAS).
Research is underway to identify a fast-growing species suitable for bio-fuel.
