- Algae can be grown in places where other crops cannot be grown
- Algae can use waste water and waste gas as nutrients
- Algae can be grown in places where other crops cannot be grown
- Algae can use waste water and waste gas as nutrients
Disadvantages of Algal Biofuel
- The production of algal biofuels is mostly at the experimental stage and it is likely to take 5-10 years to scale up production and lower costs.
- Algae need warmth and sunlight to photosynthesis and grow.
How it works
- Algal biofuels are made from harvested algae.
- Biofuels produced from algae are usually in the form of biodiesel, which can be blended with normal diesel
Intresting Facts
- Percent of oxygen produced by algae: 30-50
- Times more productive algae is than traditional crops as a biofuel: 50
- Number of cells in the most basic algae: 1
Do you think they should move it to production
Yes because they could get the business going and start saving the environment and not use as much gasoline
