Microalgae is more important than you think | Peter Mooij | TEDxDelft

This was fun to watch, great presentation!

It is also important that you could not only do this in just salt water, but also in minimal filtered seawater. There will be algae and other organisms in the water. Also the amount of food added should be minimal, because the resources for this will eventually compete with the resources needed for agriculture. They use the same phosphates and Nitrogen resources. You could test with it for now, but we might run out of phosphates in about 20-30 years. Most of our agricultural phosphates flush out to the sea. So if we can grow algae just on the phosphates already in the seawater we don't need to first filter phosphates out of seawater and then add it to you algae seawater.

+jo han ah you used NH4 and NO3 non phosphorous nutrients :) In that case its just a matter of cultivating bacteria that create those nutrients from the nitrogen in the air, but that is somebody elses study.

Don't forget that macroalgae (seaweed) plays a little part in all this too :)

Everything is in some way or another connected.

Surely a closed system would be better?

Could these algaes seperate or produce oil from our muck water? Like our toilet water or sth?

[@Ophelialoki]

Yes, they do on commercial scale at wastewater facilities.

Did you ever put the algae genes into bamboo those years ago. There no way gmo scientists would no crack any issues, especially with AI simulations.
