Algae-based Oxygen Machine

Came across an interesting blog post on the Chlorophyll Collective (CC)...Just in case you are wondering what on earth CC could be, the post provides the answer:

"How do you turn 6,008.6 million metric tons of CO2 into something essential for human existence?

From the experts at the Chlorophyll Collective, the answer is simple: Take a bunch of algae, submerge it in water, blast it with carbon dioxide and sunlight, and get our essential OXYGEN as a waste(?!) product....

In fact, did you know OVER 70% of the oxygen in the atmosphere is not produced by trees, but by algae? This means our very lives depend on algae for existence!
"

So the folks at CC are trying to make machines that eat the CO2 and produce O2 - in other words, algae-based oxygen machines!

Nature gave us oil from algae; perhaps we should try Nature's way again
