A new exhibition at The Science Museum attempts to tackle one of the biggest challenges of the 21st century – climate change.

The exhibition ‘Can algae save the world?’ runs until April 30 2008 and focuses on the role of science in offering possible solutions to the problem by developing the specific technology of biofuels.

The museum has dedicated this exhibition to making sense of the mysteries by clearly setting out the pros and cons in an accessible, interactive way. Visitors can view a ‘Mini Algae Farm’, a device to grow algae, as well as learn about the possibilities of using it as a green alternative to fossil fuels.
