DOE announces $8M for projects to develop algae-based CO2 utilization

Green Car Congress

The US Department of Energy (DOE) Office of Fossil Energy (FE) plans to make $8 million in Federal funding available for cost-shared research, development, and testing of technologies that can utilize carbon dioxide from power systems or other industrial sources for bio-mediated uptake by algal systems to create valuable products and services.

The recovered CO 2 is then available in a highly concentrated form as a raw material for permanent storage or for a wide range of industrial applications. This made it possible to reduce significantly the cost of sequestration, which is already down to the low three-digits range in euros per ton of CO 2.

Study for European Parliament assesses options for turning CO2 into methanol for use in transport

Green Car Congress

The need for bringing down the costs of captured CO 2 and stimulating its potential uses, among them methanol production. This has considerable implications for policy making, since the numerical evidence for comparing different fuels and car performance is not presently available, as the second interim report of this study has shown.
