DiggCool Clean Technologies Inc. of Eagan will help the U.S. Air Force develop clean fuels derived from algae oil.
Read the story here.
Companies today are using petroleum-based chemicals to extract oils from algae. Cool Clean's phase shift liquid CO² extraction technology could remove the oil without relying on fossil fuels and damaging the environment. This technique also theoretically allows people to convert the leftover algae into high-end animal feed.
Cool Clean is also working with Ever Cat Fuels in Anoka to equip its new $5 million biofuels plant with the extraction technology.
