3.

Accordingly, Hannon (2010) stated that the cost competitiveness of open-pond systems may be the only viable way to
support large-scale algae cultivation systems
Prices are important to consider when deciding between the two types of algae collection systems that will use algae as a
biofuel source.
This is supported by Hannon’s (2010) research, which states, “… cost competitiveness of open-pond systems may be the
only viable way to support large-scale algae-cultivation systems.”
if closed- collection algae systems are to exist and be used, designers must determine a way to make them cheaper.
4. The reason an in-text citation is given is to give credit to the source that gave the author the following information:
OMEGA, which stands for Offshore Membrane Enclosures for Growing Algae, uses clear, flexible polyethylene tubes that
float offshore in a protected bay area.

5. It is used to support the author’s conclusion that putting algae collection systems next to wastewater may be ideal for
growing micro-algae on a larger scale.
6. Further research is needed on whether floating PBRs can withstand high waves and storms, and if / how much and how
fast the plastic of the PBRs decays. The latter is supported because it says Zittelli et al. (2013) pointed it out.
