About Algae
Algae existed for billions of years, dating back to ancient times when they played a crucial role in producing oxygen and shaping early Earth's atmosphere. Fossil records indicated their presence as far back as 1.6 billion years ago. They were not created by any individual but evolved naturally as simple photosynthetic organisms, contributing significantly to the development of life on Earth.
Strengths of algae include high photosynthetic efficiency, rapid growth rates, and versatility in various environments. Weaknesses involve susceptibility to environmental changes, potential for harmful algal blooms, and high cultivation costs. Competitors include other biofuel sources like corn and sugarcane, as well as traditional fossil fuels.
