  Isaac Berzin, founder and chief science advisor at GreenFuel Technologies, have come up with another way of solving both the problem of pollution and crops usage for producing bio-fuels altogether. His revolutionary technology combines the CO2 capturing technology with growing algae.

  ,There has recently been increasing acknowledgment that atmospheric pollutants from human activities pose large scale threats on both local and global scales,, says Dr. Isaac Berzin, GreenFuel Technologies, president and chief technology officer. ,Yet as long as the economic discussion is framed in terms of industry versus environment, there is very little room for new thinking on either side.,
  
  But, he says, when it can be shown that a system enables industry to profit by reducing waste, the conflict is eliminated and ,wheels really start turning., He says the MIT Cogeneration facility provides a perfect forum for proving to the world that economically rewarding pollution control is not only possible, but viable.
  
  Dr. Berzin points out that although the GreenFuel system wasn,t developed at MIT, the company has benefited from expert advice from faculty members who are world leaders in relevant fields.He notes GreenFuel is particularly proud of its partnership with the MIT Cogeneration Plant, which was the first operating generation facility to take the GreenFuel concept seriously.With the MIT cogen beta site providing both technical and operational validation of the GreenFuel concept, he says several prospective customers are now starting to contemplate GreenFuel installations of their own.

  » Isaac Berzin, a rocket scientist at Massachusetts Institute of Technology, is creating algae farms to clean power-plant exhaust and create clean-burning fuels."The cleansed exhaust bubbles skyward, but with 40 percent less CO2 (a larger cut than the Kyoto treaty mandates) and... 86 percent less nitrous oxide. [...] Berzin calculates that just one 1,000 megawatt power plant using his system could produce more than 40 million gallons of biodiesel and 50 million gallons of ethanol a year.

  Green vision: Isaac Berzin, founder of GreenFuel Technologies, is now setting up an alternative energy policy institute in Israel.
  
  Isaac Berzin to enlist Israelis into the business of green
  ...
  Thanks to a little green vision in the form of algae, Isaac Berzin, the founder of GreenFuel Technologies in Cambridge MA, has returned to Israel to help turn Israeli ingenuity into action. Now a senior fellow at the Interdisciplinary Center (IDC) in Herzliya, Berzin has plans to build a new Institute for Alternative Energy Policy in Israel under the IDC.
  
  Berzin looks to collect the best-fit alternative energy solutions from across academia and the industry in Israel - about 10 different technology platforms - to build a center of excellence, "10 times bigger and stronger than GreenFuel," Berzin tells ISRAEL21c
  
  Recently voted as a Time Magazine most influential person for 2008, if anyone could build a biofuel powerhouse in Israel it would be Berzin, who has a kind of rock star popularity in the US for his work with GreenFuel. Continuing on as an advisor in the company, he says, "GreenFuel is doing great, the baby is walking now."
  
  The father of three, who now lives in Jerusalem, sees the importance of creating a real solution to end the world's dependence on oil within the next few years. If it's not found, in 10 years he says, the planet will have "reached the point of no return."
  
  Taking advantage of Israeli technology and research, Berzin is planning to have a serious biofuel solution ready within five years. While there is no one silver bullet solution, he admits, Israel has all the tools to start making a renewable fuel alternative.
  
  Israel's toolbox includes decades-long research into water technologies and grey-water irrigation, and the know-how for taking advantage of low-quality land and growing crops on brackish water. "Algae can grow in salt water, with sewage and on any type of land quality," says Berzin. "The world is moving to a 'grow your own solution' for energy crops, and there is no reason why Israel shouldn't be a leading country in this field," he says.
  
  The new institute he is currently setting up, will develop sustainable and strategic global alternative energy policies and will collaborate with the Institute for the Analysis of Global Security (IAGS) based in Washington, where Berzin is also a senior fellow.
  
  A representative from the IAGS wrote ISRAEL21c, "[We] congratulate senior fellow Dr. Isaac Berzin for his inclusion in TIME Magazine's 2008 list of the world's 100 most influential people. Berzin received this honor for his important scientific contribution to the development of alternative fuels and for his leadership role in the global movement to end the world's oil dependence."
  
  Earlier this month, Berzin signed a memorandum of understanding with the National Energy Technology Laboratory of the US Department of Energy as an "honest broker" for helping his new institute choose what technologies and research to implement. The institute, after all, is expected to be a moneymaking endeavor as well.
  
  According to Berzin, investing in the clean fuel solutions of oil-rich algae is a "zero-risk exercise.

  Founded in 2001 by former MIT researcher Isaac Berzin -- who is now the company's CTO -- GreenFuel's technology uses algae to mitigate both nitrous oxide and carbon dioxide, key components in greenhouse gas emissions, from flue gas emissions in power plants burning fossil fuels such as coal, oil and natural gas.
  
  The company has raised more than $17 million in venture funding from Polaris Venture Partners (where Metcalfe is a partner), Access Industries and Draper Fisher Jurvetson.

  The idea was born three years ago, when Isaac Berzin, a rocket scientist at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology, was experimenting with growing algae on the International Space Station.
  
  GreenFuel Technologies of Cambridge, Mass., which Berzin founded, then struck a deal with Arizona Public Service to conduct a demonstration project beginning last year.
