The algae has to be grown somewhere on some surface of land ( although underground is a great option as well ) but the article does say....

Among interesting data developed by Algenol and made available to Automotive Industries by spokesperson Evan Smith, is an ethanol production rate already achieved of 6000 gal/acre/yr.

I used 1000 acres as a nominal size to show how much acreage would be needed to produce 6 Million gallons annually. Yes the 'plant' sizes could be 500 or 3000 acres depending on availability. 500 acre plants would produce 1/6 the output of a 3000 acre plant without improved productivity.
