University of Delaware researchers have identified an algae— Heterosigma akashiwo —that grows rapidly on a gas mixture that has the same carbon dioxide and nitric oxide (NO) content as emissions released from a power plant. That alone could save up to 45% of the required energy input to grow algae for biofuels, Coyne said.
