The document discusses plans to grow algae at Lone Star College-Montgomery (LSC-M) in order to produce biodiesel. Major points include: - The US is too reliant on imported oil, while traditional biofuels compete with food supply; algae is a fast-growing alternative that does not require arable land. - The National Algae Association approached LSC-M about housing one of the first commercial algae growth systems in the US. - Donations from companies will allow LSC-M to construct photobioreactors to grow algae and extract the oil, with students heavily involved in the project.
