Algae Carbon Capture at the University of Kentucky - 02 Apr 2012

University of Kentucky researchers are looking at the potential of using waste CO2 and heat from a coal-fired power plant to cultivate algae, which can then be processed into value-added products like biodiesel, animal feed, fertilizer, and chemicals. This breakthrough carbon-capture technology is being funded by $1.3 million from the Kentucky Energy and Environment Cabinet, $543,633 from UK and $75,000 of in-kind costs from the East Kentucky Power Cooperative to demonstrate the process at EKPC's Dale Power Station for the next two years.
