The problem with algae derived oil is the algae requires lots of fertilizer. We need to grow azolla to use as a feedstock. It is remarkably efficient at pulling both nitrogen and carbon from the atmosphere, able to double in mass every 2-3 days in ideal conditions with minimal inputs other than sunlight and water. Makes a fairly good fertilizer, too.
