The seed cake left over after the crush is an organic
fertilizer rich in nitrogen and attracts CC.
Global NRG is developing a high CO2
absorbing Green NRG a strain of algae which is used
to absorb the carbon dioxide emitted from lignite fueled power stations,
breweries and other high CO2 manufacturing processes.
Specialized algae are bloomed in a closed environ
into which the CO2
is fed. The algae takes approximately 10 days to produce an algae rich in
oil and nutrients, that is then put through a bio-generator to extract the
oil, which in turn is converted to biodiesel. The remainder is milled into a
high protein cattle feed.
Potentially NRG Algae has the highest yield of vegetable
oil suitable for converting into biodiesel.
