CO2: High Density Vertical Bioreactor - HDVB

 
 
An excerpt:
 
"The algae derived fuel will be an energy efficient replacement for fossil fuels and can be used in any diesel powered vehicle or machinery. In addition, 90% by weight of the algae is captured carbon dioxide, which is "sequestered" by this process and so contributes significantly to the reduction of greenhouse gases."
 
We'll be sending you several similar emails referencing the use of algae to, first, capture CO2 emissions, and, second, to provide additional feedstock to the CO2-emitting process itself, whether that be a coal-fired generating plant or a coal-to-liquid factory.
 
You will discover, as we go along, that the CO2-capturing potential of such algal bio-reactors has been calculated, and that bio-engineering has been undertaken to improve the carbon capture and liquid fuel potential of the microbes.
 
We had, some time ago, referred you to several companies active in the field, and alerted you to some test flights of airplanes that utilized algal jet fuel, much as we related to you the flight of WV's US Senator Randolph in a coal-powered airplane - more than 50 years ago.
