Our pilot project has been submitted to DWR for agricultural drainage reuse. looking forward to starting the discussion. #Algae

This can substitute for petrochemically derived resin (urea formaldehyde, MDI) and can be used for building materials e.g. engineered wood products, and as a substitute for steel and some concrete applications. The CO2 is fixed for the life of the products (determinable) and not released upon combustion (as with biodiesel use). It is also a higher value product. Cambridge Biopolymers has been able to do this for 16 years and has produced many samples. http://www.cambridge-biopolymers.com/index.htm I met Tim Flannery who greatly supports ocean seaweed afforestation. I don't understand why the rest of the world has not yet woken up to this - including IPCC, Royal Society US government..... The leading alternative geoengineering proposal is releasing SO2 into the stratosphere!!
