Algae From The Ocean May Offer A Sustainable Energy Source Of The Future

ScienceDaily (June 28, 2008) — Research by two Kansas State University scientists could help with the large-scale cultivation and manufacturing of oil-rich algae in oceans for biofuel.
Algae are a diverse and simple group of organisms that live in or near water. Certain algal species are high in oil content that could be converted into such fuels as biodiesel, according to Pei and Yuan. Algae also have several environmentally-friendly advantages over corn or other plants used for biofuels, including not needing soil or fresh water to grow.

Re: Algae From The Ocean May Offer A Sustainable Energy Source Of The Future

I was wondering, will this hurt marine life, by taking away part of their natural environment?
