Though research into algae oil as a source for biodiesel is not new, the current oil crises and fast depleting fossil oil reserves have made it more imperative for organizations and countries to invest more time and efforts into research on finding suitable alternatives. Though critics worry about the availability of CO2 that is essential for starting the process and the other negative impact of production, preliminary research has proved that algae could be the perfect alternative for the future. Yes. It looks like it will beat its competitors like vegetable oil, jatropha etc. which are criticized for ethical reasons.

[...] EnvironmentalGraffiti reports that a company has come up with a system of growing algae with simple agricultural components. The mucky stuff naturally produces oils and starches, which are then processed into biofuel for us humans to burn in our petrol guzzlers. As a side effect, since these stuff actually photosynthesise (take in carbon dioxide and sunlight to create the starches), it also helps to mitigate all that carbon dioxide that’s contributing to global warming right now.

There’s another angle on this back here in Virginia – growing the algae on sewage effluent. You clean the water and the Chesapeake Bay, the process apparently requires bubbling exhaust gas through the effluent (CO2), and get biodiesel in the end. Its a way off, but the sate is funding Old Dominion University to do the work – pretty cool – news story at
