New Facility to Transform Quintana Roo’s Sargassum into Biofuel
A new facility to monitor and manage sargassum along Mexico’s Caribbean coast — and eventually convert it to biofuel — was announced Saturday by Quintana Roo Governor Mara Lezama.
Work to contain and collect the noxious seaweed has already begun in preparation for the Comprehensive Sargassum Sanitation and Circular Economy Center, as the new facility is named. Lezama first revealed plans to create the Sargassum Center in February.
