  • Answer:

    Algae is currently used in many wastewater treatment facilities, reducing the need for more dangerous chemicals. Algae can be used to capture the runoff fertilizers that enter lakes and streams from nearby farms. Algae is used by some powerplants to reduce CO2 emissions. The CO2 is pumped into a pond, or some kind of tank, on which the algae feed. Algae is commercially cultivated as a nutritional supplement.
