Capturing Stack Exhaust in Algae Cultivation

摘要

A project to use industrial waste gas to cultivate algae, produce algal oil and convert the oil to biofuel has received $1.5 million from the U.S. Department of Energy. UOP LLC,a Honeywell International Inc. subsidiary in Des Plaines, III., received the money to design a demonstration system that will capture carbon dioxide from exhaust stacks at Honeywell's manufacturing facility in Hopewell, Va., and deliver the CO_2 to an algae-cultivation system.
