Vice President of the Mexican Society of Biotechnology and Bioengineering, Alfredo Martinez announced studies to take advantage of microalgae oil from the Yucatan Peninsula in the production of biofuels. He highlighted the commitment
Mexican scientists in the development and use of biofuels in different plant species without the use of food derivatives such as corn.
"There is a national consensus not to use food for biofuels, since they do not want a food crisis," he said.

Under the fourth Regional Congress of Biotechnology and Bioengineering West emphasized that Mexico's geographic location allows the generation of different plant species produce natural fuels, clean.
Yucatan For its coast may be used for the study of phytoplankton, according to their feasibility produce biodiesel and bioethanol products in the near future replace the oil and its derivatives.

fuels made from phytoplankton emerge as an alternative to biofuels such as ethanol, recently identified as one of those responsible for the global food crisis.
For this reason, the Mexican researchers agreed to use other species native to the country for the development of these products and avoid the use of edible species.
said the United States will continue with studies in maize, due to surplus production, mainly for animal feed, yellow type, and in the case of white guy, human consumption but for them there is a food.

Meanwhile, Brazil has the right conditions for growing sugar cane for the production of millions of gallons of biofuels and, in the case of Mexico, and is investigated with species such as pine nuts or castor oil, in northern country, while focusing on the phytoplankton.
"Mexico has an untapped potential species useful for the production of energy alternatives, which can take from 10 percent to completely," he said during his conference supported by the Instituto Tecnológico de Mérida (ITM).
