RWE Launches Pilot Algae Plant for CO2 Conversion in Germany
Posted on: Friday, 7 November 2008, 06:00 CST
RWE has launched a pilot algae growing plant for CO2 conversion at Niederaussem, Germany. RWE has entered into agreements with partners such as the Jacobs University, Bremen, the Juelich Research Center and Phytolutions for the planning, research and implementation of this project.
The aim is to optimize the entire process chain from algae production to the final product. In a trial plant measuring some 600sqm, the algae is fed with flue gas from the power plant.
Juergen Grossmann, CEO of RWE, said: "Our algae project shows yet again that we at RWE have the energy to lead in climate protection. In contrast to others, we do not simply want to store CO2 underground. We are looking for ways to make use of this substance for other forms of power generation."
