Synthetic Biology makes (bio) diesel
The genetically modified bacteria (E. coli) have been successfully engineered to produce biodiesel from glucose and plant oils. This could be used as an alternative to normal diesel fuels, thus off-setting greenhouse emissions. And in contrast to normal biodiesels, huge amount of land is also not needed to cultivate crops as the plant oils can be derived from plant wastes.
