"화석이 아닌 연료" : 
조나단 트렌트가 연구 중인 이 프로젝트는 바닷물 위를 떠다니며 도시의 폐수를 먹고 사는 미세조류 무리를 양식해 새로운 바이오연료를 얻자는 것입니다. 그의 팀의 야심찬 프로젝트, OMEGA( '미세조류 연안 양식장')가 미래에 어떻게 발전하게 될지 들어보세요.

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.
