Check out this website and WATCH THE VIDEO. www.citizensclimatelobby.com We need to write to Congress and let them know we want renewable energy.We could even explain the advancements in algae biofuel and alage sequestration technology to them. To make renewables a reality, we need Congress' help!!! - 1 year ago
The link to the U.S. Department of Energy's National Algal Biofuels Roadmap [pdf]. is at the end of the first paragraph of this article on energyboom.com. It is very detailed and interesting Link - 1 year ago
PHOTOBIOREACTORS! NOW! The earth is dying. Lets help save it with algae!! Photobioreactors seem so very promising to me. I wish we could speed up the process and get them running at optimal efficiency. We need to prove to the world that this is a viable alternative energy source. - 1 year ago
Oh my god, I can't believe such a place exists. I am very interested in Algae Carbon Capture. I am currently a student doing a large research paper on Algae. I am especially interested in Algae being used to sequester co2 emissions. If anybody knows anything about this, please enlighten me!! - 2 years ago

City - Cambridge Country - United States About - I love the idea of using Algae as a biofuel and ESPECIALLY the idea of using it to capture co2 from existing smokestacks. Think about the impact we could have by rendering current co2 spewing power plants close to carbon neutral by applying algae to clean the emissions they produce. I am very excited about the many prospects of algae. I envision an algae based power plant where the process has been fine tuned and efficiency levels peaked. Where we can filter the emissions we make from burning Algae that we grew (which absorbed co2) and then filtering the co2 emissions that are produced from the process with--guess what-- MORE ALGAE!! Maybe even reuse that algae again in the SAME power plant! And using minimally processed wastewater to make it all happen!!! If only this was commercially viable and efficient, not to mention the research and work that would take to create this entire loop of using algae to clean emissions made from algae. I am very excited about this and would love to learn as much as possible about this particular implementation of algae. |
