Whilst watching the last round of the MotoGP, there was an advert for Exxonmobil - who are currently experimenting with Algae as an alternative biofuel

See attached short to - Algae Biofuels and have a listen to the video by Joe Weissman

This beg the question whether its worthwhile injecting Co2 into a planted tank.

Yeah, i saw the advert for this a few weeks back, made me chuckle, they want to grow it and we want rid, maybe they should pay us for the privilage of cleaning the tanks out. :lol:
 
I was thinking just the other day about this, why save the rain forest? when we can grow algae a lot faster! and it uses co2 for photosynthesis.

If we could do it on a big enough scale we may be able to reduce the amount of CO2 in the air, although I think methane is the biggest problem.

bio fuels from algae would be carbon neutral and I'm all for it
