BioSolar’s Breakthrough Solar Product May Change the Solar Industry
BioSolar’s Eco-Friendlier Protective Solar Module Component Rids Solar Energy of Petroleum and Removes Fossil Fuels from Solar Energy Equation
BioSolar, Inc. (BSRC), developer of a breakthrough technology to produce bio-based materials from renewable plant sources that reduce the cost of photovoltaic solar modules, “has developed a ‘biobacksheet’ that may change the solar industry,” according to a July 22, 2009 article on Energy Boom.
“BioSolar is currently making steady strides in the commercialization process, and we are always pleased when members of the solar industry share our excitement. We received great feedback following our recent announcement of the successful prototype run of the new BioBacksheetTM-A,” said BioSolar’s CEO Dr. David Lee.

Live Algae Oil Extraction
OriginOil Announces Breakthrough Process for Live Algae Oil Extraction
OriginOil, Inc. (OOIL), the developer of a breakthrough technology to transform algae, a promising source of renewable oil, into a true competitor to petroleum, recently announced that it has succeeded in extracting algae oil on a continuous basis without cell sacrifice. This new “milking” process will join the company’s Cascading Production™ technique to create a combined cycle promising new efficiencies.
Live Extraction™, or milking, is inherently efficient because it achieves continuous production of algae oil without destroying the algae cell. Therefore a single algae cell can produce more oil during its lifetime using lower amounts of energy. Unlike other approaches to live extraction, [...]
Exxon to Invest $600 Million to Make Fuel From Algae
Turning Living Algae into Mini Oil Wells
The oil giant Exxon Mobil, whose chief executive once mocked alternative energy by referring to ethanol as “moonshine,” is about to venture into biofuels.
On July 21, Exxon announced an investment of $600 million in producing liquid transportation fuels from algae — organisms in water that range from pond scum to seaweed. The biofuel effort involves a partnership with Synthetic Genomics, a biotechnology company founded by the genomics pioneer J. Craig Venter.
New Scientist recently published the following interview with Mr. Venter about turning living algae into mini oil wells:
Algae that can turn carbon dioxide back into fossil fuel – it sounds too good to be [...]
Plan to Revolutionize the Solar Industry with Breakthrough Cross-Industry Technology
Mass Production Technology to Bridge Gap Between Inexpensive Thin-Film and Higher Efficiency Silicon Wafer Technologies
XsunX, Inc. (OTCBB: XSNX), an established solar company, recently announced that it is developing a breakthrough thin-film photovoltaic (TFPV) cross-industry technology that may soon utilize the excess manufacturing capacity of the mature hard disc drive (HDD) industry to mass produce high efficiency, low cost solar cells to truly capture the power of the sun.
Joseph Grimes, XsunX’s President, stated, “XsunX is excited to announce its expanded plan for development. The breakthrough thin-film opportunity was developed from an initial idea last fall and has matured to a reality today. We are working rapidly with our strategic partners [...]
