New Technology Options forActive CO2 (and NOx) Emissions Management Julianne Zimmerman GREENFUEL TECHNOLOGIES CORPORATION
Algae has multiple potential uses Biodiesel Ethanol & bioplastics Green power Biohydrogen Fish food Esterification Fermentation Co-firing Gasification & reforming Drying
Biodiesel from emissions is not a new idea Open ponds Bioreactors Unfortunately, past attempts at large scale operation were cost-prohibitive
GreenFuel innovations • Algal adaptation methodology • Employs exclusively-licensed NASA biotechnology apparatus • Field bioreactor design • Inexpensive to manufacture • Inexpensive to operate • Photosynthesis management protocol • Optimizes algae exposure to sunlight * an economically viable solution
Field data(courtesy CK Environmental) *data measured 9 am-5 pm **data measured 24 hrs./day
Active CO2 management More CO2 per acre Much lower cost Price band
High efficiency land use Arizona New England rapeseed soybeans
Over 400 GW capacity eligible for GreenFuel installations, based on land availability
All parties benefit By converting CO2 and NOx emissions into clean, renewable biodiesel (or other products), • The plant/corporation decreases costs and increases profitability • The state/nation improves its • Domestic fuel supply • Energy security • Economic productivity • Air quality • Global stature as an environmental leader
“I’ve looked at pollution control technology, both current and emerging, for a number of years… GreenFuel’s technology is really the only thing I’ve seen that deals with CO2 in an economic way.” — Ryan Waddington, DTE
