Abstract
- The article discusses the significance of algae biofuels. It offers a substantial portion of transportation fuel needs and has a much higher productivity potential than crop-based biofuels. Algae is also very water efficient and its productivity per acre equated to other sources of biofuels is astonishing, between 1,200 and 10,000 gallons per square meter per day, depending on the triglyceride content of the particular alga species.
