Algae As Biofuel
The latest development on the search for a good biofuel to replace gasoline may lie in ordinary green algae!
Researchers have found that when they performed tests on algae, it performed as well as other biofuels and even surpassed diesel fuel!
Algae would be a good source for biofuel because it can grow fast and it doesn’t need land to grow in! It is also very simple to grow and even consumes carbon dioxide!
Some strains of algae have been found to contain high levels of oil. These are the starting materials to be used to create an effective biofuel. The oils would be extracted and then refined and they could be used as a potential fuel source!
