... ? Maybe it's pining for the fjords. At the least it's badly undernourished due to lack of posts. Got a good botanical subject for general discussion? cheers |

@otis.netspace.net.au: Recently I posted about the possibility of growing floating biomass in the oceans (Sagasso Sea?) to supply extra oil for general use. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sargassum In the oceans there are minerals/CO2/water, and the result could be harvested mechanically. If the oceans were such rich grounds for growing harvestable algae, they would be full of it already. Sea water is notably poor in iron, a very important nutrient that can limit growth. Phosphorus is also in short supply. Sean -- Posted via a free Usenet account from http://www.teranews.com |

Recently I posted about the possibility of growing floating biomass in the oceans (Sagasso Sea?) to supply extra oil for general use. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sargassum In the oceans there are minerals/CO2/water, and the result could be harvested mechanically. pj I agree about the high eficiency of growing biomass on water. But I think that extract oil and separate salt from oil will be very expensive. May be is better use the complete dryed plants on steam boilers installed near the culture place. When I was student sometime I thinked about grow microscopic algaes on ponds and extract them by filtering the water. Will be great to harvest more materials from sea, like celulose for paper.
