Algae may be a valuable food source, supplying high quality proteins, amino acids, minerals and vitamins.
Algae Applications and Benefits
-
Biofuels and CO2 Absorption:
Microalgae are suitable for producing biofuels and absorbing CO2 emissions. -
Commercial Algae Uses:
Most algae proponents say mature algae yields 5,000 to 10,000 gallons per acre. Algae farms are places where algae is commercially grown for various uses.
