I came across a paper one day about how one can use algae to make biofuel. I have looked at videos and papers why algae is a good alternative to fossil fuel, but have not come across a detailed source explaining how much algae is required to make a certain amount of oil and where can we possibly obtain these algae? Need help please!

It's short, but Captain Panic gave some pretty good information about it.

Thanks for all the help.
