Scotland’s Whisky Distilleries Use Algae to Capture Carbon
You are at: Oilgae Blog.
The Glenturret Distillery in Perthshire will use the ground-breaking system to turn fumes generated by whisky production into biodiesel.
David Van Alstyne, head of Scottish Bioenergy, said: “A couple of years ago the idea of using algae as carbon recycler sounded absurd but with the support of Shell, Edrington Group and the Scottish Environmental Technology Network we have built Britain’s first pilot scale bioreactor.”
Green MSP Robin Harper officially switched on the bioreactor, which could have implications for others in the industry.
He said: “This project is tremendously exciting, and I hope that it will be thoroughly successful.
