Seaweed could fuel 10% of US transportation needs, say scientists
The case for seaweed as a viable material for biofuel has been strengthened after an ocean research, exploration, and education organisation received $5.7m of funding from a sector of the U.S. Department of Energy.
Woods Hole Oceanographic Institution (WHOI) was granted the money by the Advanced Research Projects Agency-Energy (ARPA-E) to for two projects that develop tools and technology to advance the mass production of seaweed for biofuels and bio-based chemicals.
