Saltwater algae viable for biofuels

“What this means is that you can use ocean water to grow the algae that will be used to produce biofuels.”

“And once you can use ocean water, you are no longer limited by the constraints associated with fresh water. Ocean water is simply not a limited resource on this planet,” said Stephen Mayfield, Ph.D., a professor of biology at UC San Diego, who headed the research project.
