EBI study concludes potential contribution of microalgae biofuels in US will be modest due to resource constraints and cost

Green Car Congress

” In all five cases, water and nutrients (N and P) are supplied by municipal wastewater, which also provides some of the carbon needed for algae growth. Engineering designs and cost analysis for the various cases were based on projecting current commercial microalgae production and wastewater treatment processes at much larger scales.
