Using algae to harvest pollution & turn it into fuel
October 1, 2008
Read this on Instapundit yesterday.
Instead of sequestration, the current preferred method for curbing CO2 emissions, an Oregon coal-fired plant captures its carbon dioxide and feeds it to algae. The algae can then be converted to biodiesel, ethanol and livestock feed. It is just a small project now, but within 30 months “it should reduce greenhouse gas emissions by as much as 60% during daylight hours and produce 20 million gallons of biodiesel per year.”
