    Ocean-grown biofuel proposed by NASA uses algae to clean wastewater and produce oil. Semipermeable bags are filled with wastewater and freshwater algae. Bags allow freshwater to flow out of the bag and prevent saltwater from entering, killing algae. Algae feed on waste and grow fatty, lipid cells rich in oil to be used as fuel.

    Ocean-grown biofuel

    A possible biofuel proposed by NASA uses algae to clean wastewater


    and produce oil. How it may work:

    1 Semi-
    permeable bags
    2 Bags allow freshwater
    to flow out of the bag and
    are filled with prevent saltwater from
    wastewater and
    freshwater algae
    entering, killing algae
    3 Algae feed on the
    Carbon waste and grow fatty, lipid
    dioxide cells
    Oxygen

    Freshw

    ae
    Ocean
    saltwa
    ter
    Freshwater

    Bags absorb carbon dioxide from the


    air and release oxygen and freshwater
    into the ocean
    4 Fatty
    cells are
    rich in oil to be
    used as fuel
    Oil derived by land plants
    Gallons produced annually per acre*
    Some types
    At least 2,000 gallons
    of algae
    (7,570 liters)
    Palms 600 gallons (2,271 liters)
