ジョナサン・トレント「次世代バイオ燃料生産: 海に浮かべる 藻のゆりかご」

化石燃料の代替となる燃料の開発に向け、ジョナサン・トレント は都市部からの排水を栄養源とする微細藻類から 次世代バイオ燃料を得るプロジェクトに取り組んでいます。今回の講演では 彼が率いるプロジェクトOMEGA（海上藻類養殖用膜質容器）の大胆なビジョンと、これを新しいエネルギー源として普及させるための可能性についてお話します。

A new approach uses floating offshore pods filled with microalgae to turn city wastewater into fuel, without competing with agriculture for land or water. Microalgae can produce up to 5,000 gallons of oil per acre per year, far outpacing traditional biofuel crops. These flexible, solar-powered modules not only generate biofuels but also clean water, trap carbon dioxide, and foster marine habitats. Integrating biofuel production with aquaculture and renewable energy could create sustainable, multi-purpose systems for coastal cities.
