ALTERNATIVE FUEL SOURCE: Can we use the Algae in Chinese waters to develop carbon-based fuels?

Posted in Green Q&A | 0 comments

Has anyone seen the news broadcast about the massive tons of Algae floating in Chinese waters, and how many volunteers are helping to remove it, for the Summer Olympics in Beijing?
I wonder if any of this could be used to develop alternative fuels in addition to ethanol-based gasoline. Some countries are already using sugar-based ethanols and corn-based fuel. Why not this Algae, there is a huge surplus of it?

Is it theoretically and chemically possible?
