US Aid to Turn Algae into Fuel
A Kiwi startup company that turns algae into bio-fuel will get North American funding to help in a trial project to use algae to capture carbon dioxide from manufacturing exhaust stacks.
Aquaflow Bionomic Corporation has an agreement to work with UOP, formerly Universal Oil Products, which specialises in technology to refine fuels and is part of the giant Honeywell International corporation.
Aquaflow director Nick Gerritsen said the Kiwi company would be working with UOP on a United States Energy Department co-operative agreement project to demonstrate technology to capture carbon dioxide and cultivate algae for use in renewable biofuel and energy production.
