A Marlborough company has produced the worldâs first sample of bio-diesel from algae extracted from the regionâs sewerage ponds. It is believed this is the worldâs first commercial production of bio-diesel from algae outside the laboratory, in âwildâ conditions. Bio-diesel could eventually become a sustainable, low cost, cleaner, burning fuel alternative for New Zealand, powering family cars, trucks, buses and boats.
