Research Abstract |
In this research, CO2 emitted from thermal power plants and sewage treatment equipment are used as resources for the cultivation of marine algae. By artificially dissolving high concentrations of CO2 into seawater and using it to grow marine algae, photosynthesis (i.e. growth rate) of marine algae becomes significantly rapid. The growth rate of marine algae will be accelerated by more than 1.9 times, as compared to that in normal seawater. Moreover, we tried making a bio-ethanol using the marine algae, and succeed. Thus, we developed the "carbon recycle system" which reduces CO2 and reuses CO2 as new resources.
