The forum discussion centers on the feasibility of algae carbon capture as a solution to climate change and the complexities involved in creating an algae tank for CO2 absorption. Participants highlight the challenges of algae farming, including the need for significant land area, the economic viability of algae fuel production, and the importance of maintaining high-yield strains. The consensus suggests that while algae can contribute to carbon sequestration, it is not a standalone solution and should be part of a broader strategy that includes reducing carbon footprints and utilizing renewable energy sources.

The best way to get started is to do some reading on the subject. One source is the Biofuel Technology Handbook: https://www.researchgate.net/publication/228735855_Biofuel_technology_handbook. It looks like a good source. I downloaded it several years ago, got as far as page 50, and lost interest in biofuels based on what I read in the book.CCatalyst said:
Are you implicitly suggesting the OP should grow algae in a tank to absorb CO2? Do you think this has value?jrmichler said:
