For years scientists have been experimenting with bacteria in an effort to solve the dual problems of global warming and renewable energy ..Algae already produce up to 80% of the world’s oxygen. |
The focus of this research became the Aquatic Species Program, which investigated renewable fuel production (bio-diesel) from high-oil algae species, fed by the waste CO2 from coal-fired power plants. |
The GNUL can be retrofitted to existing smokestacks, such as those at coal-fired power stations, at relatively low cost with minimal disruption. The micro-algae lock up the carbon.. |
