Algal biofuels

Algal biofuels are renewable energy sources made from algae, small aquatic plants that can grow quickly and thrive in various conditions. Algae can convert sunlight and carbon dioxide into energy through photosynthesis, much like land plants. This energy can be harvested to produce biodiesel or other fuel types, offering a sustainable alternative to fossil fuels. Algal biofuels have potential benefits, such as reducing greenhouse gas emissions and utilizing non-arable land, which makes them an attractive option for combating climate change and meeting future energy needs.
