See Dr Candace Pert's book "Molecules of Emotion" published in 1997. Her work was used to tout blue-green algae benefits in a pamphlet "Hope is a Molecule"
It's not just the fats in the algae that became oil. Basically all their carbon and hydrogen got crushed together which includes all their proteins and cellulose. Thankfully they had lots of cellulose.
The politicians are so hard-headed I don't think that would work dissolving them they're too far gone I was thinking more on the order of a cattle prod that might work.
I wonder how many years it takes for the algae grown in that façade when it becomes equivalent to the CO2 produced while building the façade itself? Metal, water all are resources and process consumes energy.
If alge make plastic and we use this plastic to grow more plastic growing alge we might get somewhere. But from what I know of my university where they also work with algea there is no way they help us in fighting climate change because they are not efficient enough. However they are good for producing high quality chemicals, medicin and food. Climate change is mostly fixed by electrefying heating transport and industry. The Algea and ecosystems around the globe will help absorb most of the CO2 and we need to find all the big poluters fix them so that the CO2 is stored under the earth again and not released.
If the system is engineered optimally and maintained, algae can grow crazy fast because they don't need to dedicate energy to make cellulose like trees do.
Oh I loved this film! Completely fascinating and I so enjoyed the enthusiasm of the researchers. I support all efforts to work with nature, in particular our algae which definitely have a big future in new technologies of various kinds. Looking forward to my first algae meal!
Fundamental Aspect of Algae is for Carbon Fixation and to make use of it to have some commercial products ranging from Bioplastics, Edible Oils, BioEthanol, BioJet Fuels, and other Pharmaceutical Products.
Algae is wonderful and I'm glad people are starting to recognize its potential. However we must be mindful. Reducing pollution is great but if the governments over compensate they will starve life. Low CO2 results in de-greening. Plants require and thrive on it, which means so do the animals and us. We should focus more on eliminating pollution and waste, not so hyper focused on CO2. They're oversimplifying a complex issue which is dangerous.
LOL No one intends to bring the CO2 content of the atmosphere below 280ppm. So far, no one has been able to do so. In fact, we don't even get a little bit of CO2 pulled out of atmosphere. How do you know so much nonsense? 😂
I really hope that they will find algae that can grow to higher titers. Otherwise reactor volume will be a limiting factor to economical viability. 1-10 g/L is simply to little.
Always makes me literally smile to see people so genuinely passionate, happy and excited for their work and contributions. Respect from a saddish corpo-rat :')
what the biologist and their english transalation both language are combined so you have to mute what ever language they speak so that we can here the things easily without any disturbances
Really nice research, film and storytelling... Just awkward that the only woman featuring the video is the narrator. There are lots of amazing female scientists working with algae out there! 💚
coral would be the algee that makes limestone. Well something like it. The problem is that it is full of wholes so refinement would still need to happen.
It was a scientific informative documentary about Algea its usefulness for survival and growing in the most crucial environments that means utilizing Algea for fighting climate change and mass pollutants ... Thank you for an excellent ( DW) documentary channel .for sharing this wonderful documentary.
The world doesn't need to be saved, it will be fine. It is humans who need to be saved - from ourselves and our stupid activities. The world will be fine, with or without us.
Blue Green Algae sells for $40 to $100 per kilogram as a superfood, if I remember correctly. Canada's Prairie Naturals. I'd estimate Canada's prairie lakes produce enough to feed billions of people. Deutschland+ Canada's First Nations business development should be able to commercialize the lakes near their territories. I suspect First Nations have used this food source for thousands of years. 😂
@@AmonTheWitch 🤣 additives, preservatives, and artificial flavorings are the American staple. Of course we need more stuff placed in our food with rat droppings and bacteria being allowed by our government. Yum yum yum...
I agree. It's definitely something they will use to dilute (adulterate) the foods we actually think we are buying and want to buy. Pea protein has made it's way into a lot of foods it has no business being a part of. Now anybody with peanut or any legumes allergies are unable to eat a lot of foods they had previously been able to eat safely. None of those foods needed pea protein but it's now a cheap filler. Human food is being treated like the cheapest of dog foods.
Why feel so surprised a bacteria can still survive in a less light environment...A living will evolved and learn to adapt to its environment for the sake of survival..
I hope this comes in time.... I also hope we dont ruin this with Political or Economics reasons... But it is marvelous to think that we have everything available to live on this planet without ruin it further... I give my full respect to the scientists/researchers.....
EXXON just pulled all their algae funding - since they couldn't make a profit from it. In fact the exact opposite is true - only IF we grow algae farms to "Mummify" algae can we SAVE earth from the Oil we have burned (that yes came from algae as you point out). Ecology is primary to economics.

If 1200 nissan micra doors could be pre-designed to become Rodenstock glasses.Even just 50! It is all too difficult. But recycled plastics can be turned into..cushion inside. Playground floor.Recycling is very easy in theory, but in practice almost impossible.sadly. tant pis. Leider.
@@JusticeAlwaysNo it's NOT. The Natural carbon cycle is 12 gigatons per 200 years. We are currently emitting 1000 to 5000 gigatons of CO2 - that was algae and now is oil. So we need algae to REVERSE the oil we have burned - not to create more oil.
So amazing, so inspiring, thinking I am working with algae for my thesis. I want to work in an envinronment full of inspiring people like the doctor in the video. I know that the research is an amazing work in which you play with ideas every day and everything seems so fascinating.

When you realize that crude oil is nothing but fossilized Algae oil, algae becomes a crucial part of green future.

It's very easy to grow...it's everywhere!
The promises of algae have been around for quite sometimes but asides of some niches product it failed to deliver
This is true. But that does not mean that it will continue to fail to deliver. Meanwhile, LED lighting has helped increase the scale of production
Always makes me literally smile to see people so genuinely passionate, happy and excited for their work and contributions. Respect from a saddish corpo-rat :')
"Our plan is to grow algae on the side of buildings.".... "Why?" .... "Because it looks futuristic".... "Funding revoked"
It is not photosyntesis rather chemical reaction. TIme: 5:05 and forward.
I'm still waiting for algae to appear in stores, as long as it's cheaper than rice I would eat it 👌
you can buy spirulina and use it as a nutritional supplement

Very good

It's for shock value. No one is really surprised, they are just looking to find more specimens.
The algae could also make fuel for usage.😮
