I’ll throw in that in the ethanol production the protein and oil in the corn are extracted up front...if you use corn at all.
I don’t know alot about gas extraction of oil, but from what I understand it doesn’t use heat. I wonder of the oil could be extracted and allow the algae to live.

Perhaps a genetically engineered algae that produces oil as a waste product?
What does algae do with the lipids? I assume they’re using them as stored energy? Maybe they just need to be convinced they don’t need to store it?
