The New Value of Algae for Biodiesel Resources
Rather than sink and die, algae microbes have been known to simply appear and later on die in the ocean, these are now seen to be a new alternative towards helping address the climate change that has been evidently present in the world today.
Biodiesel is being linked as an extract from the algae, which are known to pack denser energy than most plants.
“Mr Munford’s proposal is to harvest the algae, rather than allowing them to die and sink. He notes that many species of algae pack a far denser punch energy-wise than the plants now used as energy crops. In particular, they produce oils of the sort valued as biodiesel, and are attracting a lot of attention from scientists and entrepreneurs looking for fuels to replace mineral oils.”
