Microbial Waste and Alternative Fuel

There are plenty of investigations and mysteries to solve in distant galaxies far, far away, but there are just as many mysteries here left on earth. These mysteries are found in the world’s smallest organisms and studied by microbiologists. And what microbiologists have found is that microbial waste may be the future of green alternative fuel. There would be no plants harmed in the making of such fuels, nor would there be any ground disturbed.

These projects involved the scientists engineering organisms that were designed to expel chemical energy. That chemical energy, mere waste to these microorganisms, successfully allowed engines to burn it in order to run. While the project’s potential has yet to be seen, the scientists who have been working on it wholeheartedly believe that this could be the future to powering vehicles.
