The funding will be used for the design of a demonstration system that will capture carbon dioxide from exhaust stacks at Honeywell's manufacturing facility in Hopewell, Va., and deliver the captured CO2 to a cultivation system for algae.
Algal oil can then be extracted from the algae for conversion to biofuels and the algae residual can be converted to pyrolysis oil, which can be burned to generate renewable electricity.

This project will realize further environmental benefit because wastewater from the manufacturing facility will be used in the algae cultivation system, allowing the algae to consume nitrogen in the wastewater.
The project will also help reduce greenhouse gas emissions while showing the viability of new sources of energy. It develops and licenses process technology for the production of biofuels. Integrated approaches such as these are our best hopes for creating economically sustainable renewable energy solutions. http://bit.ly/b1lnbO
UOP will design cost-effective and efficient equipment to capture CO2 from the exhaust stacks and deliver it in a controlled and efficient process to a pond near the plant, where algae will be grown using automated control systems. http://bit.ly/ct1Apz
