Project Description
This project is advancing an integrated open raceway algae cultivation and processing system to engineering-scale for carbon capture and utilization (CCU) from the flue gas of a naphtha-fired power plant. Global Algae Innovations has developed a technology suite for algae carbon capture, cultivation, and processing that includes improvements to each process step. This technology suite will be scaled up to an integrated engineering-scale system for algae CCU from the flue gas through final products. The systems will be used for parametric testing followed by a long-term testing over the course of a year to obtain design scaling parameters and to quantify the economic and life-cycle benefits of the technology.
Project Benefits
This project is helping to move algae CCU from research and development to commercialization through an engineering-scale integrated demonstration. Global Algae Innovation's technology suite will include improvements that reduce cost, making the algae products economically competitive in utility and industrial scale CCU markets. This implementation is for a utility flue gas containing 3.5% carbon dioxide that is similar to flue gas from natural gas power, so results will be directly usable for natural gas power and co-gen plants as well petroleum-fired plants.
