the typicalfarm in iceland, which is about 150 hectares, could actually produce about 10,000 tons of meat. that s if lab grown meat is indeed the answer. after all, aren t we all supposed to be eating more greens? well, not too far away, another company is tapping into iceland s geothermal power to put us on an altogether different diet. this is food for us, or at least it will be one day. it s not something we re currently used to eating, mind you, but tastes change. it s algae. i know, sounds kind of ewww, doesn t it? but the microalgae growing in these test units are rich in protein and omega 3, much more so than traditional crops grown in a field, and they also consume way fewer
beer fermenter and we feed it through a bioreactor which houses microalgae. brewers yeast heeds sugar, creates co2 and alcohol. algae or microalgae eats co2, creates more algae and releases oxygen, so they become dizzy and antigang organisms that naturally balance each other out. that would be like knocking down a city block and planting trees and letting them grow for 20 years, and that is something that can be made in a warehouse within weeks. think about that as being a solution, it is
my my name is oscar mcmahon, i am one of the cofounders of this brewery here in newtown, sydney, australia. what we re trying to work out how much algae you need to adjust the amount of co2 that beer creates. microalgae or phytoplankton are tiny photosynthetic plants. can t see them with the human either they are a fantastic biochemical factory. they are a fantastic biochemicalfactory. 70% they are a fantastic biochemical factory. 70% of the planet is water, and that is where the phytoplankton are growing. so one of the things that we can do to address climate change is to actually use the algae to capture co2. we capture co2 off the top of a
