Microalgae as fuel feedstock is definitely on the frontburner, but I still look at high lipid microalgae as feed for verts and inverts.
And yeah, when I started reading about CO2 from powerplants being used to boost algae production for biofuel feedstock, I started wondering what kind of lipids were being produced, and if we could produce high quality feed material in conjunction with the fossil fuels we burn to produce over 90% of the electricity in Hawaii.
I thought of Hawaiian Electric's Kahe Point powerplant, with the CO2 going up its stacks, lots of sunshine on the Leeward Coast.
The next ideation was what would an oyster fed such a fatty diet would taste like...
