USC study shows promising potential for giant-kelp-based biofuel with depth-cycling approach

Green Car Congress

Marine BioEnergy invented the concept of depth-cycling the kelp, and USC Wrigley scientists conducted the biological and oceanographic trial. Once implemented, depth-cycling farms could lead to a new way to produce affordable, carbon-neutral fuel year-round. —Brian Wilcox, co-founder and chief engineer of Marine BioEnergy.
