New York state, two partners will capture carbon dioxide, make biofuel
algae stored in tubes are busy capturing carbon dioxide in this reactor created by GreenFuel Technologies. A similar system will be tested with a New York power company.
NEW YORK - How's this for a green idea: Remove carbon dioxide, a gas that many scientists tie to global warming, by having algae turn it into clean fuel?
It's actually more than an idea, and the state of New York along with independent power producer NRG Energy and GreenFuel Technologies will be testing the technology.
In a partnership announced Tuesday, the New York State Energy Research and Development Authority is funding the project, which will test GreenFuel's CO2 recycling technology at NRG's coal-fired power plant in Dunkirk, N.Y.
"This project has the potential to not only benefit the air quality in the surrounding community, but to also continue our progress toward producing clean renewable energy here in New York," NYSERDA President Peter Smith said in a statement.
