Algae Could Change the Energy Industry
In Hawaii, Global Algae Innovations is working to make the humble green scum a major source of renewable energy and food. Refining algae into biofuel with an energy yield similar to gasoline, diesel, and jet fuel promises to be a major force in combatting climate change and resource conflict. But with every gallon of fuel, there's an exciting bonus — 10 pounds of food. CEO of Global Algae Innovations Dave Hazlebeck talks about how his company is working to upend not just fossil fuels, but our food supply as well.
