Abstract: 
A team of Cornell University scientists set out to produce carbon-neutral fuels from algae and found what they believe is a "doable" and profitable system to not only render the transportation sector carbon negative, but reduce pressure on forests, on fresh water and on ocean fisheries. And, they say, it will make money.
 
"This is the paper that that we're working on now: Basically we figured that a scaled-up marine microalgae industry could profitably—and that's a really important term, profitably—meet the projected global demand for animal-feed
protein, for vegetable oil, and for liquid-transport fuels."
