Renewed World Energies Uses Algae to Capture CO2
You are at: Oilgae Blog.
Algae has been cultivated primarily as a source of biofuel but Renewed World Energies (RWE) is taking it one step further. The company wants to clean up power plant and industrial plant emissions using algae and then have the algae turn the CO2 captured to generate both an oil and a cake product.
RWE will be building its first facility in Georgetown County, South Carolina. South Carolina is where RWE’s oil processing plant and algae bioreactors will be located. The company grows several different strains of algae and has a “proprietary automated harvesting technology.”
Besides growing the algae, RWE recently announced a process that captures the CO2 and nitrous oxide from smokestacks to grow algae. In essence, the company is using the pollution generated from power plants and industrial smokestacks to grow clean energy products thereby killing two birds with one stone. I think this will be a fantastic idea of Co2 Sequestration as well as producing energy.
