If algae grows quickly and uses carbon you probably have to remove parts during operation, then there's 2 options, bury it (thus removing it from the loop and becoming negative) or optimally produce cheaper carbon fuel sources, thus we could replace parts of other "biofuels" and reduce the amount of oils we pump up.
I love the idea but I'm highly doubtful of scaling (really wouldn't mind being proven wrong).
