Biofuel from Algae grown in wastewater


Look at the picture on the link above; can you see yourself filing up your car tank with biofuel from Algae grown on wastewater?
Algae may hold the greatest potential for simultaneously tackling the problems of our worldwide dependence on fossil fuels and limiting CO2 emissions linked to global climate change. Algae can produce substantially greater oil per acre than traditional oil seeds and also cut the level of CO2 as algae consume it while emitting clean oxygen. Algae can grow in places other than on farmlands or other arable land. Many strains of algae can grow optimally using brackish water, seawater, or wastewater. For these reasons and others, Algae have many advantages over other types of plants in addressing some of the world’s major challenges for energy security, reduction of greenhouse gas emissions and need for sustainability.
