Algae fuel
open-in-new
<p>Algae fuel, algal biofuel, or algal oil is an <a href="/facts/Alternative_fuel/TcKYtwXp">alternative to liquid fossil fuels</a> that use <a href="/facts/Algae/U1ftVKU3">algae</a> as the source of energy-rich oils. Also, algae fuels are an alternative to commonly known biofuel sources, such as corn and sugarcane. When made from <a href="/facts/Seaweed/thLwLBk8">seaweed</a> (macroalgae) it can be known as seaweed fuel or seaweed oil. These fuels have no practical significance but remain an aspirational target in the <a href="/facts/Biofuel/RWu7b6Y3">biofuels</a> research area. </p>
