What’s gooey, green but yet clean? Recent high school graduate Xander
Pertusine says it may be some type of ethanol, or it may be algae oil…or
it may be both. Whether you’re a construction worker looking to gain
green building skills or you’re someone who’s interested in shifting
careers towards our nation’s emerging green economy, then the
Sustainable Technologies Center (STC) at Santa Fe Community College may
be the right place for you! Take Xander Pertusine, for example. Xander
is interested in the Center’s leading biofuels research program. He and
his classmates are currently up to their elbows in renewable green goo
and other resources that may hold the potential to provide sustainable
biofuels that can help reduce our dependency on dirty and expensive
fossil fuels. Come along as Xander gives us a behind-the-scenes tour of
the biofuels laboratories and see the gooey algae in action! DIG DEEPER
- Are all biofuels created equal? Are biofuels the answer to our energy
needs for a clean future? It depends. Done wrong, biodiesel can actually increase
global warming pollution and cause other environmental problems, such as
deforestation and loss of biodiversity. Learn more about biofuels on
this Union of Concerned Scientists website.
- In 2009, the City Council of Santa Fe adopted the Sustainable Santa Fe
Plan. The plan is not only focused on reducing greenhouse gas emissions,
but also to develop an overall community sustainability program. Learn
more about the plan and how you can get involved by visiting the city’s
official Sustainable Santa Fe website.
- Xander very well may be our “hope” for the future of the renewable fuels industry! He’s currently immersed in the Center’s Biofuels program where gooey and clean algae and ethanol are being investigated as renewable resources that can produce clean biofuels/diesel.
