Scores of scientists around the world are racing to turn algae into a commercially viable energy source. Some algae are as much as 50% oil that can be converted into bio-diesel or jet fuel. The biggest challenge is cutting the cost of production. Researchers are also trying to figure out how to grow enough of the right strains of algae and how to extract the oil most efficiently.
