Algae may be found in oceans and lakes, but some scientists are hoping that the next place you’ll see these organisms is a coal-fired power plant. That’s because algae, which mostly reside in aquatic ...

Intrinsic Foundries is developing an algae-based carbon capture and utilisation platform to convert industrial waste streams ...

23 July 2010 – Swedish utility Vattenfall has launched a pilot project using algae to absorb greenhouse gas emissions from a coal fired power plant in eastern Germany. The EUR2m ($2.6m) trial run, ...

Researchers in India have engineered a 200 L hybrid photobioreactor that captures industrial CO 2 emissions and converts them into biodegradable plastic using indigenous microalgae. Image Credit: ...

A glowing green “liquid tree” in Kerala might offer a new tool in the fight against urban air pollution. Inside a 1,000‑liter bioreactor, billions of microalgae absorb CO₂ far more efficiently than ...

Researchers at the University of Chicago Pritzker School of Molecular Engineering (UChicago PME) and the U.S. Department of ...

Brilliant Planet's test facility with algae ponds in Morocco, as seen from the air. Forests sequester vast amounts of carbon dioxide but grow very slowly. What if we could grow a mature forest in a ...

Phototropin responds to blue light and regulates starch storage by activating or deactivating PMSK1, a protein that controls starch synthesis. Blue light reduces starch accumulation, while red light ...

Atmospheric CO2 continues to increase and, despite considerable worldwide efforts to cut down on carbon waste, is expected to rise more in coming decades. Researchers demonstrated that new, lower-cost ...
