      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.

      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.

    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.

      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.

    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. 😂

      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.
