Current research: Extraction of Fuel Molecules from Algae (Down-Stream Processing)

The extraction of fuel molecules from algae is a problem that must be overcome to allow commercialisation of algal fuels. I am looking for ways in which fuel molecules can be extracted from algae at low cost bearing in mind that the process has to be environmentally friendly.
