How much algae can be grown on 1 acre of land?
• The amount of algae that can be grown on a acre of land is limited by the amount of energy that area receives from the sun. Algae growth estimates range from 100 to 200 tonnes per acre per year. These estimates, however, are under optimal conditions and should be considered a theoretical maximum and unlikely to be achieved. More realistic values are 3-40 tonnes per acre per year.
