A simple solution to rising global temperature could be floating in your neighbourhood already—the slimy green gunk coating ponds may help contribute to a greener environment. “Like a breath mint for a smokestack, algae can harness carbon dioxide from pools of water before the pollutants of power plants and factories are coughed into the atmosphere,” TreeHugger reported. “And algae are doubly useful for greening our planet: the slimy green stuff that we scrape off our fish tanks is a hot candidate for a new biofuel.”
 GreenFuel's algae bioreactor system produces high-quality clean air biofuels™ from algae grown using smokestack emissions. The company claims that the fuels prices are competitive with conventional fossil fuel products. Biofuels are produced at the same time that emissions are being decreased. Using smokestack emissions as its feedstock, a site-configurable GreenFuel installation grows a year-round 'cash crop' of commercial grade algae. At the same time the process reduces the NOx by up to 86% and the CO2 by 40% of the smokestack emissions.
