There's cars today on the road that can use it. If you go to the instructables.com website and read the article, you'll see that he presses the algae to get oil - oil, once processed, is burned. So here's my curiousity questions: how well does it scale (small bottles of algae seems unscalable) and if you have to feed carbon dioxide, what's the carbon footprint on that? Anyways, it's good food for thought. The fuel is biodiesel. There’s cars today on the road that can use it.

Not sure what exactly could be fueled by this, though. I just saw that yesterday on Instructables, actually.
