Investors in the technology, the story says, believe that algae ponds could produce up to 20,000 gallons of biofuel a year per acre. If extracting fuels from green goo grown in the desert has a science fiction quality to it, how about using bacteria to both absorb a power plant’s carbon diox...

Annual production of algae, which will provide yield of 100-200 dry tons per acre at a capital cost of approximately $45k - $60k, improving the cost up to 1/2 -1/6 is not a bad idea at all. Furthermore, it offers the biofuels industry access to cheap and readily available oils and starches fo...

Algal biofuel

i2.cdn.turner

Minuses: Unlike cellulosic ethanol, the biomass for making a lot of fuel from algae doesn't yet exist; it has to be grown from scratch. Harvesting is still expensive. Cost-effectively producing algal biofuels on a large scale may be many years away.

Algae (U.S.): “High hopes hang in bags of algae outside the Redhawk power plant near Phoenix, Arizona. Researchers say the fast-growing green scum, fed by power plant exhaust, could soak up carbon dioxide while cranking out 5,000 gallons of biodiesel an acre each year - at least in theory.”

HI! This is a fascinating topic. I have some comments on biofuels, especially algae as feedstock available here. A little more technical, but it should be understandable. Algae oil company web-sites never mention the HUGE amount of CO2 the algae need to consume before produce oil.
