Mandinga Posted April 21, 2015 Share Posted April 21, 2015 (edited) Does anyone know of any hobbyists currently trying to grow this stuff? Apparently it is a saltwater plant that can be turned into bio-fuel, and Boeing is currently funding research on growing this stuff. LINK to story, "Boeing reveals “the biggest breakthrough in biofuels ever” I was thinking... why not try to grow it in a refugium environment? If anyone has data, or experience, please share. Also, where could one buy a frag or a start of this Halophyte? Edited April 21, 2015 by Mandinga 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mandinga Posted April 21, 2015 Author Share Posted April 21, 2015 (edited) Great video john. Weird to think that algae could be a huge biofuel resource...and since it uses Co2, it has a carbon neutral footprint.
