Making diesel out of Algae

According to the Times Online http://www.timesonline.co.uk/tol/news/environment/article4133633.ece
a researcher from Tsukuba has discovered an Algae than "sweats" crude oil.

Professor Makoto Watanabe claims that this Algae has an energetic yield much higher than what can be achieved with other plants used to produce biofuel. However some economic details still need to be worked out before the diesel produced by this algae can be massively produced.
