This Algae Cleans Water AND Makes Jet Fuel

Imagine using algae to clean wastewater and also grow fertilizer, boost crop yields, and even power airplanes.

That’s the breakthrough behind Gross-Wen Technologies, where algae replaces chemicals—removing nitrogen and phosphorus while creating a valuable biomass for turf, agriculture, and even sustainable aviation fuel.

Martin Gross explains how this circular approach delivers cost-effective nutrient removal today, with the potential to fuel planes tomorrow.
