Algal biofuel

Algal biofuel is a type of renewable energy made from algae, which are simple, photosynthetic organisms found in water. Algae can grow quickly and absorb carbon dioxide, making them environmentally friendly. They produce oils that can be converted into biodiesel and other fuels. This process offers an alternative to fossil fuels, potentially reducing greenhouse gas emissions. Additionally, algae can be cultivated on non-arable land and with minimal freshwater, making them a sustainable energy source. Researchers are exploring ways to optimize algae growth and oil extraction to increase the efficiency and feasibility of algal biofuels on a larger scale.
