There are many ways to make biodiesel but one of the more interesting and worth exploring is how to make it using ordinary algae from the sea.
Bermuda’s Sargasso Sea marine algae could revolutionize the fuel of the future. Scientists are a step closer to uncovering the most productive algae in Bermuda to make Biodiesel.
Dr.Michael Lomas, a researcher for the Bermuda Institute of Ocean Sciences, is trying to make it a viable reality and has made considerable progress towards the development of a program in alternative energy based on Algal Biodiesel.

Bermuda is not just one island. It’s actually to over 120 small islands. Beyond the famous pink sand beaches, there are sunken treasures and unique geological features that you can only see if you get off the shore and into the water. On a boat, you can see shipwrecks from five centuries and 15 countries. There are also mysterious off-shore caves that are not your typical view from the beach.

In 2010 the documentary film Where the Whales Sing, by Andrew Stevenson premiered at the Bermuda International Film Festival. The film is a result of three years of Andrew’s researching, photographing, filming and cataloging of the humpback whales that migrate past Bermuda each spring. Bermuda’s unique mid-ocean platform provides a natural port of call for the humpbacks during their seasonal migratory voyage to the cold northern feeding grounds. For viewers it is a visually stunning journey of discovery into the life of these majestic marine mammals and a call in the plight for protection against man’s ever increasing and often devastating impact on the oceans and its inhabitants. The film is accompanied by the voice of wonder and innocence of his 6-year old daughter.
