While these reports will tell you WHAT to do, by and large, most won't tell you HOW TO do it. If you want the reports condensed and boiled down into to a language the "rest of us" understand, or you want inexpensive ways to accomplish your goals, you'll need to buy my books.
I'll be adding to this section more and more as time goes on. It is my hope that this will be the finest free algae biofuel research library available anywhere.
These links are tied directly to the source of info.
All reports are free.
The links are all good as I write this (Aug. 2016) if you find one that is broken, let me know and I'll fix it. Or go to the root URL (EX: www.nrel.gov ) of the site and do a search under that report's name.
