Baltimore to Grow Algae in Sewage Treatment Plant for Biofuels

June 10th, 2011 | 2 Comments | Posted in Algae-Wastewater-Treatment

Black River Plant, a sewage treatment plant in Baltimore City burns methane from sewage to generate electricity. Now an agreement has been approved by the Board of Estimates on the use of CO2 from the waste treatment plant for the cultivation of algae for the production of biofuels.

The one-year project is expected to cost $255,000 and is being paid for with federal stimulus funds. Dayton-based Hytek Bio will grow the algae and turn it into a fuel that can replace heating oil used in city boilers and diesel used in city vehicles.
