Microalgae Production from Power Plant Flue Gas: Environmental Implications on a Life Cycle Basis

Category: Advanced Photosynthetics - Documnet Type: Technical Report
Electrical power plants are responsible for over one-third of the U.S. emissions (2001) or about 2.2x109 t carbon dioxide (CO2) per year. Power-plant flue gas can serve as a source of CO2 for microalgae cultivation, and the algae can be cofired with coal.... More»

A Look Back at the U.S. Department of Energy's Aquatic Species Program: Biodiesel from Algae

Category: Advanced Photosynthetics - Documnet Type: Technical Report
The U.S. Department of Energy initiated The Aquatic Species Program (ASP) in 1978 as a direct response to the energy crisis of the early 1970's. The research program focused primarily on the use of aquatic plants as potential sources of hydrogen and biodiesel. In 1995 funding for the program was redirected towards research in bioethanol, and the ASP was terminated.... More»
