Micro-algae Explored as Renewable Energy Source in Argentina
Micro-algae as a source of cheap renewable energy are at the center of new research being conducted at Argentina’s National Technological University.
Scientists at the National Technological University of Mar del Plata, on Argentina’s Atlantic coast, said they focused on developing techniques that would be both economically viable and environmentally sustainable.
A production module already in place would seek to convert micro-algae into energy with the minimum amount of energy being used in the whole process. The scientists said they would seek to achieve a ratio below 1:5 — to limit consumed energy to below 20 percent of the energy produced.
