TEMPE, Ariz. (MMD Newswire) June 24, 2009 -- Mark Edwards' Green Algae Strategy: End Oil Imports and Engineer Sustainable Food and Fuel explores the extraordinary capabilities of algae, including its ability to offer low-cost, high-energy biofuels, slow global warming and provide nutritious foods. Green Algae Strategy received the gold medal in the science category from the 2009 Independent Publisher Book Awards.
Few people are aware that nature's first energy source, algae, holds the key to desperately needed solutions for energy, food, medicines and pollution solutions, says Edwards in Green Algae Strategy. He notes that advances in biotechnology and bioengineering have allowed significant advances in the ways that scientists can create valuable products from this plant. Edwards provides a roadmap for how algae can end the need for foreign oil imports, offer affordable food despite climate change and even create a high-paying green collar industry that can boost employment as it helps the planet by sequestering carbon dioxide.
Algae provide pollution solutions for air, soils and water, enable reforestation and offer medicines shown to stop the spread of SARS, HIV/AIDS and other diseases, says Edwards. While algae will not be the silver bullet that solves all problems, he argues, it certainly is poised to provide innovative and high-value solutions by producing food, fuel and many co-products while consuming no or minimal cropland, freshwater, fossil fuels or pesticides.
