First Refinery Plant with Green House Gas Recycling with Algae
You are at: Oilgae Blog.
This will be the fist refinery of it’s kind in America to include GHGs (Green House Gas) recycling with algae. It will be a closed system process by not just venting the CO2 into the atmosphere. This means a zero carbon footprint. We also will use waste and biomass not food, to produce the energy and ethanol. This green approach to alternative energy and fuels is an epiphany for the industry.
The Federal Department of Energy or Agriculture will guarantee capital loans for much of the cost. This will insure that Hawaii is not importing most of the ethanol we use. Blending gas now is 10% in Hawai’i and flex fuel vehicles can now use up to 85% ethanol though not sold here yet.
Diamond Head is second generation that is being put forward in new technology now. Algae grown in a vertical biogenerator can takeup the CO2 generated in the plant. Along with making oxygen the algae will be used in making biofuel.
