flag Mazda is developing algae-based biofuels to cut emissions, aiming for carbon-negative fuel by 2025.

flag Mazda is developing algae-based biofuels as a carbon-negative alternative to fossil fuels, enabling existing internal-combustion vehicles to run on renewable fuel without modifications. flag The process, which uses algae to absorb atmospheric CO2 and convert it into oil, produces about one liter of fuel every two weeks with roughly 1,000 liters of water. flag While currently slow and costly, Mazda confirms the technology is technically feasible and part of a broader strategy that includes electrification and carbon-capture systems. flag The company sees this approach as critical for meeting emissions standards in markets like Australia, where new regulations take effect in 2025, and argues that biofuels deserve greater investment alongside electric vehicles.
