Dr Malone said unlike the biofuels we know today, which are dependent on agricultural land to produce corn and sugar beets, bio-production in seawater would avoid ethical concerns of ‘fuel vs food’. Biotechnology- reducing environmental impact. This can result in fewer by-products and contaminants (i.e.

A long-standing grail of biotechnology is the effort to convert the lignin component of plant-based biomass into energy or something useful – this being a less wasteful avenue than simply burning it or throwing it away. It’s a waste.” The MEC cycles waste-filled water through the bacteria, which eat up the carbon.
