Algae. Fuel of the Future
Description
Our planet is slowly but surely running out of easily accessible fossil fuel. But what if there was a viable alternative to conventional oil? This film reveals the global search that is underway to develop a renewable energy source from algae. Learn about ground breaking research being done by the National Research Council in Halifax and explains why algae fuel isn't that far-fetched since it's the same as the crude oil we already use today - except it hasn't been aged for a few million years.
