Biofuels from seaweed
Biofuels from seaweed.
"The abundant forests of kelp around our shores may well help solve the energy crisis and create a whole new industry in its wake. There is nothing new about exploiting kelp's biochemical properties. For centuries, it has been used as a fertiliser by the people of the Highlands and Islands wrestling with miserly soil but, with growing concern about finite resources and the search for renewable sources of energy, the Scottish Association of Marine Sciences (SAMS) is turning its attention to the humble seaweed... Its seaweed project... involves looking at what secondary crop could be grown near fish farms on the nutrients from fish excrement in the water."
