This project will use algae collected from the surrounding water shoreline of Florida coast and to create a biofuel using a Hydrothermal Liquefaction (HTL) process. Under high temperature and pressure, algae will become a biofuel that will be specifically tested for salinity and combusted to measure the impact of its salt content.
