Researchers at the University of Texas at Austin have managed to develop a cyanobacteria (also known as blue-green algae, but not a true algae) that produces glucose and cellulose. The glucose and cellulose can be harvested without destroying the cyanobacteria. The cellulose is in a form that is easily made into biofuels such as ethanol. This could be a step toward producing much more biofuels on much less land, and on land unsuitable for food crops.

Thats a good idea, but theres no better way to help preserve the environment by energy conservation.
Well renewable energy by all means of efficient technology still generates carbondioxide and other pollutants.
