An inter-university research team have developed a microalgae based carbon capture technology and establish
ed the nation’s largest pilot microalgae farm at a University in Tainan. The goal of the team is to exhaust emissions and wastewater from factories to breed microalgae and use that to capture carbon dioxide.
The researchers have found that 1 kg of microalgae is capable of absorbing 2 kg of carbon dioxide. The team has established a breeding centre for microalgae at the university’s campus in Annan, Tainan, which is capable of holding 40 tonnes of microalgae.
