As Planet Swelters, are Algae Unlikely Saviour- Sequestering Carbon and Producing Oil

This computer-generated image released by Bellona/Projektlab (BPL) shows seaweed "photobioreactors," which, if built, could help reduce carbon dioxide while producing more energy. Microscopique seaweed consume a lot of carbon dioxide and are rich in lipids, which can be used to produce biofuel.
So-called microalgae hold enormous potential when it comes to reining in both climate change, since they naturally absorb large amounts of carbon dioxide, as well as energy production, since they can easily be converted to a range of different fuel types.
"This is certainly one of the most promising and revolutionary leads in the fight against climate change and the quest to satisfy energy needs," Frederic Hauge, who heads up the Norwegian environmental group Bellona, told AFP.
