Backyard Biofuels is a collaborative project of the Saint Louis Science Center and the Center for Advanced Biofuel Systems at the Donald Danforth Plant Science Center. It is supported through grants from the National Science Foundation and the Department of Energy.





We received 169 completed collecting kits from citizens like you.  From those samples we were able to isolate and test 105 individual algae strains. The map below shows all of the 2010 algae collection locations.
