Create energy from algae

OriginOil (USA) and Ennesys (France) - two technology companies - have joined hands to launch a unique energy project: creating algae from waste water, then using algae to produce energy and water clean, according to news from Reuters.

During the development of the project, these two companies took the domestic wastewater from apartments in a building in Paris, France.

Later, researchers used this water to grow algae in biochemical reactors.

'Wastewater is full of essential nutrients for algae to grow. We prepare a source of waste water that microalgae can grow and grow from there. Finally, we obtained two things, namely clean water and biomass energy produced from plankton that existed from 24 hours to 48 hours in wastewater , "Tauzinat said.

Researchers have utilized biomass energy to serve the building's energy consumption needs.

France's energy law requires all major buildings to use energy more efficiently at the end of the decade.

Mr. Riggs Eckelberry, OriginOil's General Director, said this law is the driving force for the above project development research team.

'In France there is an energy law that construction companies must comply with. They have to build buildings that can generate more energy than they consume and have to clean the water treatment system. These are really big challenges. And algae is the perfect solution for the requirements of creating energy and cleaning up the wastewater treatment system, 'said Mr. Eckelberry.

Both companies believe that adopting algae-based energy production technology for large buildings will help building management companies minimize or even eliminate emissions, as well as help save money. country.
