Algae is a small organism that can be grown quickly and efficiently for biofuel production. There has been a lot of research done in this field and it is becoming more economical as a means of fuel production for large industry. There is a specially interesting application in pairing the algae production facility with a carbon producing power plant, as algae generally consumes twice their weight in CO2 while growing, sometimes called Carbon Algae Recycling Systems (CARS). Humans seem to habitually produce CO2 in both life function and economic activity, so it is interesting to see research in reciprocal plant evolution.
