Shannon's Vivacious Blog: Algae Farm Provides Renewable Energy!

One of many algae farms, particularly Phil Lane's out in Ohio, has been putting out the word that algae might be a great energy alternative to fossil fuel use. Phil Lane has been performing many tests and trials with using algae for multi-purposes. One of the benefits of working this farm, says Phil, is "Algae can be grown just about anywhere, so we are not competing with farmland for growing food crops," said Lane, who manages the Wooster algae pilot facility. "Algae can add value to marginal lands, generating a crop that can be turned into biofuel and a variety of bioproducts." Algae can be used not only for an efficient source of energy, but for ingredients for bio-degradable products, health safe food naturalizer, and natural additives. Algae is also packed with beneficial vitamins for your body. The algae farming business is spreading quickly throughout the country and is looking very promising for future resources.
