- bratwurst3000 4y agoHmm could be that the way is co2->algea->hydrocarbon->H2 and carbon as a byproduct. Still I dont think its Carbon negativ because they rather make hydrocarbons out of it and the production uses energy plus. Only wanted to state the possibility of Carbon negativ as real.
- throwaway87915 4y agoIt works out carbon negative because pieces of algae fall down to the ocean floor and remain there, as a side effect of algae cultivation. It's a significant number.
