Algae power goes practical.  A pair of Missouri universities and electric companies plan to use the carbon dioxide pollution from coal-fired power plants for algae growth that  could be further processed for biofuel.This project plans to employ a relatively small portion of carbon emissions for growth of algae.The science behind the use of algae for biofuel processing has been around for some time .From 1978 to 1996, the U.S. Department of Energy funded a program at the National Renewable Energy Laboratory in Golden, Colo., to develop renewable transportation fuels from algae.However of late there has been a renewed effort into finding eco-friendly ways of cultivating the same , to mitigate environmental damage.
