From Seaweed to Fuel

Israeli company Seambiotic is using a new environmentally friendly technology to create a product from seaweeds.

Seaweed is being brewed by Seambiotic in eight open pools on property belonging to the Israeli Electric Company (IEC). The company's smokestack emissions, otherwise polluting carbon dioxide, are being redirected to "feed" Seambiotic's algae, a product which goes on to feed animals, humans, and can also be used as biofuel.

Seambiotic, founded in 2003, grows marine micro-algae primarily for livestock feed and nutritional supplements for humans. It can also use algae to create biofuel.
