The oil discharged into the Gulf of Mexico following the explosion and sinking of the Deepwater Horizon (DWH) rig in 2010 contaminated more than 1,000 square miles of seafloor. The complexity of the event has made it difficult for scientists to determine the long-term fate of oil in this ocean environment.

The European Union (EU) market, which is home to about 30% of algae activity, will be limited initially by the industry’s focus on university research, and later by insufficient access to water, land, and nutrient sources. Ultimately, algae potential is greatest in regions where there is an abundance of land, water, and sunlight.

Floating NPPs can provide a reliable power supply not only to remote settlements, for example, in the Far North and Far East regions, but also to large industrial facilities such as oil platforms. The concept takes advantage of two mature technologies: light-water nuclear reactors and offshore oil and gas drilling platforms.

The only by products are water and a fair degree of heat, the latter indicating a degree of inefficiency and wasted energy.

Researchers at Chalmers University of Technology have shown that between 87 and 98 percent of ships comply with the tougher regulations for sulfur emissions that were introduced in northern Europe in 2015. Other patterns we can see are that vessels that only rarely come into these waters break the rules more frequently.

The production costs for most chemicals via microbial fermentation are currently high compared to oil-derived products primarily because of operating costs associated with feedstock and feedstock processing. One way to mitigate high feedstock cost is to maximize conversion into the bioproduct of interest. Jones, Alan G. Fast, Ellinor D.
