Municipals have a great scope for cultivation of algae thus can produce electricity and thereby help to clean the air surrounding.

Algae also cleans wastewater. It makes glycerine too, which are used in some medicines.

The best thing about algae based fuels or any other carbon based biofuels is that in the worst case scenarios they only release as much CO2 as they take in from the air, so they are technically carbon neutral, except for the extraction process, which consumes electricity, or the solvents.

Solar power can solve that

After some good algae strains are determined, maybe beefed up by hybridizing, wastewater treatment plants (WWTP) would be really good locations for big operations of algae production, or testing large processes, etc.. Not all WWTPs would work... But some have extra land/acreage (ponds, etc), have anaerobic digesters that produce large volumes of CO2 and methane (on about 2 to 1 ratio), gases are considered waste, some use the methane for generators to power plant equip. during peak power. There's trace nutrient effluent water, already slightly warmed from plant processes. And WWTP staff are oriented toward large bio-processes and handling, etc.. An algae operation could mesh nicely with a WWTP.

Amazing, now let's do it. It's a safer fuel for our planet's environment. Save our earth.

Sadly, there's inconvenient laws that deter, impede, such development, R&D, etc.. For instance, I was recently reading about a law, critical to large scale algae operations since a large scale operation would want to use waste CO2....The law actually prohibits the use of waste CO2 for recycling and problematic legal language. Anyway, this law is now under discussion as needing revision.

I doubt that. The huge soda companies buy tons of C02 to be put in their soda and soda fountains. Even beer companies do this. Why would there be a law preventing an algae farm from doing this? I actually have a peeve about how we criticize companies for emitting CO2 but not a peep for the large soda companies from buying or making CO2 and pumping it right back into our environment via soda water. Their argument is that they are taking CO2 that's already out there and by pumping into water they aren't adding net plus into the environment but I don't buy that argument.

I think what may exist, legislatively speaking, is legalese tailored by Big Oil for BIg Oil protection from threat of CO2 being used specifically in non-fossil oil/fuel development and production, etc. And not intended to compromise corp. use otherwise. So Big Food (that includes the bread prod.) and distilleries/breweries aren't effected by the specific legislation.. Wastewater/sewage facilities with anaerobic digesters produce vast concentrated amounts of CO2, wasted into the atmosphere. I think it would be absolutely wonderful if I'm wrong on this...-But I strongly suspect Big Oil had their legal people cover that threat some decades back. Wastewater/sewage use of its own methane is legislated so as not to threaten commercial grid energy providers. So even vast amounts of produced methane must be burnt off with huge "waste gas" burners, thus protecting big commercial power grid providers: Edison, PG&E, etc.

Where can you buy algae. I would like to invest in projects in Europe.

What little electricity it takes to grow the algae, it takes far less than drilling, pumping, and transporting the fossil crude oil it can replace. If you grow a little extra algae then you can use that biofuel to generate the electricity you need to grow even more until it becomes self-sustaining.

Algaes are producing oxygen in very large amount, what they are doing? Vent to the atmosphere. Good idea? :)

For those interested in algae for fuel, biotech...Online, check out "Algae Industry Magazine."..Some of the online articles and ads also include videos.... I'm not affiliated with the magazine. Developed nations need to ditch fossil crude-oil use/industry. It has caused (and continues to cause) serious geopolitical problems. Regardless of Big Oil "mouthpieces" that hawk a supposed infinite abundance of fossil crude, and promote continued addiction, it is not responsible, on a number of practical and ethical reasons. BioEthics of algae development/use are inarguable..-Allowing developed nations to both regain and exemplify a genuine striving for moral high-ground, and responsible Human Progress, rather than contributing to growing interest in the Regress of humanity for a more primitive "balanced" existence with Nature. As it is, younger generations are seriously being "turned-off" by what they see resulting from all the unethical and dysfunctional outcomes of fossil-crude oil industry, such as poisoning the oceans, etc.. Algae bio-industry outcomes and impacts can be constructive and healing.

So do solar panels. However you add in the minerals from the earth and fossil fuels (both which are finite) needed just to manufacture them, in reality you're not getting much energy from algae if at all.

Big caveat is the amount of nitrogen and phosphorus needed to grow algae. Still has great potential though.

competition by cheap natural gas, oil and coal protectionism, low energy-to-cost ratio, and lack of R&D. Algae just doesn't take in enough energy to justify using it, even if using ethanol itself is more efficient the process just doesn't produce enough. Companies like exxon mobil estimated it would take 20 more years to make it viable(and that's conservative). Understandably, they may be lying so they don't have to put work into it, but really the only people with enough resources and time to make it viable are big companies.
