Male contraception schemes always run into the same big hurdle. What woman will believe a man who says, "don't worry, I've had a vasectomy"?

It's true that collecting algae requires effort to collect and transport. But my ultimate point is that the total energy and resource costs of directly converting seaweed to fuel would be far lower than in OP's proposal. Just as

The actual efficiency of algae growth is irrelevant in this case, because we're not paying for the sunlight and there's an excess of seaweed available free for the picking up. Measures of the theoretical efficiency of solar panels

Oligarchy is the default setting of society. If we have it here in America, it's because we don't vote smart.

The paper's abstract is intriguing, and kind of buries the lead. The waste plastic angle is a bit of a headline-grabbing red herring. The authors claim they can turn straight-chain hydrocarbons into aromatic ring molecules, which I b

Fermentation and dry distillation. Seaweed contains a lot of cellulose and starch, just like land-based plants. It can be processed with acids or enzymes to convert these into sugars, just as is done to convert corn starch into corn syrup.

>removing carbon from the oceans, burning it and releasing it back into the atmosphere feels a little bit counterproductive to me That's the plan in the OP, isn't it?

Efficient or not, seaweed is already growing in the enormous area of the oceans and washing up on beaches worldwide. All that needs to be done is go get it.

There's already a highly efficient solar-powered process for extracting carbon dioxide from seawater called "growing seaweed." It would be far more efficient simply to collect seaweed from the ocean and put it through fermen
