Whether we have arrived at this point in time by a superior technological approach, sheer luck or a redneck can-do attitude, the fact remains that microalgae can outperform the current feedstocks utilized for conversion to biodiesel and ethanol, yet do not impact the consumable food markets or fresh water resources.
Algae-to-biofuel could be a disruptive technology, as it permits biofuel to be made in commercial quantities without major environmental impact. If it can scale big, it will replace entire industries.
