Food or Fuel? Both - with the Help of Saltwater Crops and Algae
The ocean is a powerful force that covers most of our planet. But until recently, the rugged coastline hasn’t really been considered a source of farmable land due to salinity. Saltwater crops are being more carefully by scientists as a possible source of bio-fuels, an article in Science shows that developing saltwater crops in coastal and salty areas could help open up vast new areas of land previously thought unusable.
WiredScience reports on new findings that show the biomass producing potential of salt-loving plants for use in alternative fuels: Read the rest of this entry »
