Delete. I removed the PROD for purely technical reasons. I agree with Chidgk1's PROD reasoning. Ping me if new information comes up validating this article.

Delete: Unsourced and reads as an essay. Fails WP:GNG. - UtherSRG (talk) 15:01, 5 September 2023 (UTC)[reply]
Delete: This topic does not appear to meet WP:GNG and there is no reason for a standalone article, with reference to WP:PAGEDECIDE. I see the Botryococcus braunii article already contains information about biofuel applications and provides context. Chocmilk03 (talk) 23:23, 6 September 2023 (UTC)[reply]
Keep. "Uneconomic" is not a valid deletion rationale. Nor is the nominator's attempted PROD rationale, "There are several challenges which must be met in order to economically produce the desired alkanes such as gasoline." is an enormous understatement. I have added sources to the article and there are plenty more available that can be used to expand the article by someone more qualified than me. Meets WP:GNG.
