We may not be far from the day when cars, trucks, boats and planes can run on gasoline and diesel fuel made from algae. Department of Energy's Pacific Northwest National Laboratory in Richland, WA, have created a process that converted more than 50 percent of the algae’s carbon into crude oil, sometimes up to 70 percent, in about one hour and created nothing more hazardous than an odor of dirty socks, rotten eggs and wood smoke from the processed biological material. The leftover water and nutrients such as nitrogen, phosphorus and potassium can be recycled to grow more algae.
