i have read an article on Threehugger website regarding Italian Biodiesel producers turn to seaweed as a feedstock for biodiesel. Italy's Union of Biodiesel Producer hope to comercialize the production of seaweed-based biodiesel within five years . They plan on investing 10 million (14$ million) into the project.
The specific species of seaweed used in this project has yet to determined , the company is working with scientist at the University of Florance to find a species which could be grown in plastic tubes of seawater and fed with carbon dioxide captured from a nearby fossil fuel power plant. I enjoyed reading this article, it raise my awareness on insufficient supply of diesel . And i hope scientist in our country will come out with something like this.
