    It is possible to produce algae based biofuels, but what is/are the likely limitation(s) of developing countries in promoting this industry?

    1. Production of algae based biofuels is possible in sea only and not on continents.
    2. Setting up and engineering the algae based biofuel production requires high level of expertise/technology until the construction is completed.
    3. Economically viable production necessitates the setting up of large scale facilities which may raise ecological and social concerns.

    Explanation:
    • US National Research Council report on  Algal  Biofuel  (2012) observed that algae and cyanobacteria biomass production in the U.S. desert Southwest could be perceived as a good use of low-value land  by  some,  but  as  an  intrusion  into  pristine  land  by others. Similarly, the use of genetically modified organisms   in production systems could affect social acceptability. So this is social concern and it also proves statement  #1  wrong.
    • Open Algal ponds will attract insect larvae invasion and affect predator-prey balance. This is ecological concern.
    • And the report discussed challenges production and technology.

    Hence option 2nd is correct.
