develop biofuels on a scale that would
develop biofuels on a scale that would
actually<00:00:23.740> compete<00:00:24.400> with<00:00:24.610> fossil<00:00:24.789> fuels<00:00:25.300> but
actually compete with fossil fuels but

miles of sewer pipes under the city
miles of sewer pipes under the city
already<00:02:43.940> and<00:02:44.390> it<00:02:45.200> releases<00:02:46.070> its<00:02:46.370> wastewater
already and it releases its wastewater
already and it releases its wastewater
offshore<00:02:47.860> so<00:02:49.990> different<00:02:50.990> cities<00:02:51.230> around<00:02:51.260> the
offshore so different cities around the
offshore so different cities around the
world<00:02:51.620> treat<00:02:52.100> their<00:02:52.280> wastewater<00:02:52.550> differently

some<00:02:53.780> cities<00:02:54.080> process<00:02:54.560> it<00:02:54.680> some<00:02:54.950> cities<00:02:55.160> just
some cities process it some cities just
some cities process it some cities just
release<00:02:56.120> the<00:02:56.300> water<00:02:56.450> but<00:02:56.960> in<00:02:57.080> all<00:02:57.290> cases<00:02:57.530> the
release the water but in all cases the

water this released is perfectly out of
for<00:03:00.410> growing<00:03:00.620> microalgae<00:03:01.340> so<00:03:02.300> let's<00:03:02.510> envision
for growing microalgae so let's envision
for growing microalgae so let's envision
what<00:03:02.900> the<00:03:03.020> system<00:03:03.200> might<00:03:03.500> look<00:03:03.650> like<00:03:03.709> we<00:03:04.340> call
what the system might look like we call
what the system might look like we call
it<00:03:04.610> Omega<00:03:04.910> which<00:03:05.450> is<00:03:05.600> an<00:03:05.690> acronym<00:03:05.840> for
it Omega which is an acronym for
it Omega which is an acronym for
offshore<00:03:06.610> membrane<00:03:07.610> enclosures<00:03:08.360> for<00:03:08.570> growing
offshore membrane enclosures for growing
offshore membrane enclosures for growing
algae<00:03:09.440> and<00:03:10.190> that's<00:03:10.610> we<00:03:10.760> have<00:03:10.880> to<00:03:10.940> have<00:03:11.030> good
algae and that's we have to have good

ice water the other thing to consider is
the<00:04:40.819> structure<00:04:41.300> itself<00:04:41.509> it<00:04:42.199> provides<00:04:42.919> a

and other organisms in the ocean will
become<00:04:52.069> enhance<00:04:53.030> marine<00:04:53.990> habitat<00:04:54.979> so<00:04:55.460> it
become enhance marine habitat so it
become enhance marine habitat so it
increases<00:04:55.789> biodiversity<00:04:56.750> and<00:04:56.930> finally
increases biodiversity and finally
increases biodiversity and finally
because<00:04:58.039> it's<00:04:58.189> an<00:04:58.280> offshore<00:04:58.550> structure<00:04:59.090> we
because it's an offshore structure we
because it's an offshore structure we
can<00:04:59.719> think<00:04:59.960> in<00:05:00.110> terms<00:05:00.289> of<00:05:00.530> how<00:05:00.710> it<00:05:00.919> might

we<00:07:11.190> would<00:07:11.460> they<00:07:11.940> suffocate<00:07:12.390> because<00:07:12.660> they
we would they suffocate because they
we would they suffocate because they
produce<00:07:13.020> oxygen<00:07:13.560> and<00:07:13.860> they<00:07:13.920> don't<00:07:14.190> really

produce is problematic and they use up
all<00:07:18.270> the<00:07:18.420> co2<00:07:18.630> so<00:07:19.620> the<00:07:19.770> next<00:07:19.800> thing<00:07:20.070> we<00:07:20.280> had<00:07:20.430> to
all the co2 so the next thing we had to
all the co2 so the next thing we had to
figure<00:07:20.700> out<00:07:20.850> was<00:07:21.420> how<00:07:21.450> we<00:07:21.720> could<00:07:22.200> remove<00:07:22.800> the

oxygen which we did by building this
oxygen which we did by building this

first attempt at building this type of
first attempt at building this type of
column<00:07:37.620> the<00:07:37.950> larger<00:07:38.340> column<00:07:38.640> that<00:07:38.730> we<00:07:38.850> then
column the larger column that we then
column the larger column that we then
installed<00:07:39.360> in<00:07:39.510> san<00:07:39.660> francisco<00:07:40.110> and<00:07:40.140> the
installed in san francisco and the
installed in san francisco and the
installed<00:07:40.740> system<00:07:41.240> so<00:07:42.240> the<00:07:42.690> column<00:07:43.110> actually
installed system so the column actually
installed system so the column actually
had<00:07:43.680> another<00:07:44.040> very<00:07:44.550> nice<00:07:44.880> feature<00:07:45.120> and<00:07:45.450> that
had another very nice feature and that
had another very nice feature and that
is<00:07:45.690> the<00:07:46.020> algae<00:07:46.440> settle<00:07:46.980> in<00:07:47.190> the<00:07:47.640> column<00:07:48.030> and
is the algae settle in the column and
is the algae settle in the column and
this<00:07:48.780> allowed<00:07:49.080> us<00:07:49.230> to<00:07:49.260> accumulate<00:07:50.160> the<00:07:50.580> algal
this allowed us to accumulate the algal
this allowed us to accumulate the algal
biomass<00:07:51.570> in<00:07:52.110> a<00:07:52.500> context<00:07:53.100> where<00:07:53.130> we<00:07:53.370> could
biomass in a context where we could
biomass in a context where we could
easily<00:07:53.730> harvest<00:07:54.390> it<00:07:54.570> so<00:07:55.350> we<00:07:55.800> would<00:07:55.980> remove<00:07:56.340> the
easily harvest it so we would remove the
easily harvest it so we would remove the
algae<00:07:56.940> is<00:07:57.000> that<00:07:57.150> concentrated<00:07:57.840> in<00:07:57.960> the<00:07:58.050> bottom
algae is that concentrated in the bottom
algae is that concentrated in the bottom
of<00:07:58.440> this<00:07:58.560> column<00:07:58.830> and<00:07:59.190> then<00:07:59.760> we<00:07:59.940> could<00:08:00.120> harvest
of this column and then we could harvest
of this column and then we could harvest
that<00:08:01.200> by<00:08:01.710> a<00:08:01.740> procedure<00:08:02.250> where<00:08:02.880> you<00:08:03.060> float<00:08:03.510> the
that by a procedure where you float the
that by a procedure where you float the
algae<00:08:04.050> to<00:08:04.200> the<00:08:04.290> surface<00:08:04.500> and<00:08:04.920> can<00:08:05.430> skim<00:08:05.820> it<00:08:05.940> off
algae to the surface and can skim it off
algae to the surface and can skim it off
with<00:08:06.420> a<00:08:06.450> net<00:08:07.400> so<00:08:08.400> we<00:08:08.520> wanted<00:08:08.760> to<00:08:08.820> also
with a net so we wanted to also
