From the Ted Talk by Jonathan Trent: Energy from floating algae pods
Unscramble the Blue Letters
So how does it work? I sort of showed you how it works already. We put waste water and some source of CO2 into our floating structure, and the waste water provides ntunrteis for the aglae to grow, and they sequester CO2 that would otherwise go off into the atmosphere as a greenhouse gas. They of course use solar energy to grow, and the wave energy on the surface provides energy for mixing the algae, and the ttrmueperae is controlled by the surrounding water temperature. The algae that grow produce oxygen, as I've mentioned, and they also prducoe bfolieus and flertieizr and food and other bi-algal products of interest.
