Algae Oil And The US Navy


Alright I’m not going to lie, The united states navy and algae really don’t go together, but after you realize that the Navy is researching alternative fuels it all comes together. You see the Navy is trying to develop a new type of oil to help power their cars and ships, They call this algae oil.

Now this research is really about the Us putting alternative fuel mandates on the navy, but they are sure that this is about creating better cleaner fuels for the military use. Plus who doesn’t want the government working to help create new fuels. I mean something like this can only help the situation that the world is in.

But what exactly is this algae oil? well, the navy hopes that it will be a substitute for regular oil, They also believe that it will behave just like regular oil. So in reality, its just regular oil that isn’t from the ground. But who knows, maybe the navy could be onto something and we could be on step away from filling our cars with oil from a plant.

    Pair this with the fact that algae grows faster than most anything we have a realistic renewable resource which will help filter out co2 itself
