From the Ted Talk by Jonathan Trent: Energy from floating algae pods
Unscramble the Blue Letters
So here's what I came up with. Imagine that we bulid an enclosure where we put it just underwater, and we fill it with wastewater and some form of microalgae that produces oil, and we make it out of some kind of flexible material that moves with waves uawrdneter, and the system that we're going to build, of course, will use saolr energy to grow the algae, and they use CO2, which is good, and they pcourde oxygen as they grow. The algae that grow are in a container that distributes the heat to the surrounding water, and you can hsvreat them and make biofuels and cosmetics and fertilizer and animal feed, and of course you'd have to make a large area of this, so you'd have to worry about other stakeholders like fishermen and ships and such things, but hey, we're talking about blofuies, and we know the icoartmpne of potentially getting an aaeiltnvtre liquid fuel.
