Detractors of algae biofuel are quick to point out that costs of fertilizer and CO2 are negatives. DSW from an OTEC plant would provide relatively sterile water with a good nutrient profile and high CO2 content nearly ideal for growing microalgae with no additional cost. Construction of the OTEC plant needs to be expidited to benefit from the enhanced "industrial ecology" of OTEC.prhhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01491940661585717019noreply@blogger.com
