I again sugest growing plants in the sea to be used to make biofuel
A study of arctic climatology reported that azolla may have had a
significant role in reversing a greenhouse effect that occurred 55
million years ago that caused the region around the north pole to turn
into a hot tropical environment. This research conducted by the
Institute of Environmental Biology at Utrecht University claims that
large dense patches of azolla growing around freshwater lakes formed by
the climate change eventually consumed enough carbon dioxide for the
greenhouse effect to reverse.
"Leaf protein isolate from water hyacinth (Eichornia crassipes) was
prepared and the chemical composition was studied. It contained 49.6%
protein, 16.0% total lipids, 26.9% total carbohydrates, 1.7% fibre
and 5.8% ash."

I guess the question would be: what are the chain lengths of the
resultant oils, and whether sufficient bulk of material could be
produced cheaply enough to make up for lower lipid concentration.

Warning, this is the water plant from hell. I grew up in Florida and
it choked the waterways down there. Yeah it grows fast, and God help
you if it gets out into native waterways in a tropical/subtropical
region. I did see a controlled usage at Walt Disney World in
Kissimmee where it was used as a part of the wastewater treatment
facility there.
