Fuel from Algae - Part 2

It works by Algae ingesting carbon dioxide and releasing oxygen in the photosynthesis process.

Algae is rich in oils that can be used to produce bio diesel, starches that can be made into ethanol and protein that could have other uses.

The idea was born a few years ago, when a rocket scientist at MIT was experimenting with growing algae on the International space station.

The scientists think that they can get possibly 200 tons of algae per acre annually during mass production.
