Hi Everyone.
Algae cultivation has always been an interest of mine, ever since I heard about their applications in biofuel technology. There are many different species of Microalgae and one of the most promising with regards to biofuels is Chlorella. While Algae based biofuels might not make sense from a volume perspective, algae itself can be grown anywhere with the right environmental conditions, even in indoor spaces. And, if natural light is used, and it's scaled up to compensate for the energy cost of air pumps, it could provide a powerful carbon reducing feedstock not just for fuel, but for many other things, including foodstuffs and organic fertilisers (due to their typically high nitrogen content).
In the video linked below, I detail how I started my most recent algae culture, and how I learned from previous mistakes. This method is replicable to anyone who has the time, resources, and can get their hands on a starter culture (something I may work to resolve in the future!).
