• What do we suggest ?
• The focus of this project is two-fold
• Examination of bio-fuels in general and
  specifically those made of Algae for current and
  future vehicles use.
• 2) A novel technique for reducing the risk
  associated with the particles produced during the
  combustion of such fuels.
• These two combined aspects are directed towards
  a
• sustainable use of renewable-energy.
