Producing Algae-Based Biofuels From Wastewater

Biofuels are an alternative to fossil-based fuels but there is a legitimate concern about the amount of water needed to grow crop-based feedstocks for biofuels. Formation water of varying salinity is produced as a by-product of oil and gas production. The authors discuss investigations that are unde...

description Biofuels are an alternative to fossil-based fuels but there is a legitimate concern about the amount of water needed to grow crop-based feedstocks for biofuels. Formation water of varying salinity is produced as a by-product of oil and gas production. The authors discuss investigations that are underway to use formation water as a means of cultivating algae to be used as biofuel.
