W2 Energy faz alterações no reactor de algas SunFilter1 para aumentar a eficiência energética

(Notícia em Inglês)
W2 Energy, Inc., a clean energy company has converted the SunFilter1 algae reactor to use Euglena Gracilis, a more efficient strain of algae.

The Euglena Gracilis strain of algae grows in fresh water rather than saltwater, and can sequester 40% of the carbon dioxide dissolved in the water. The previously utilized algae produced a 10% return. This higher concentration allows W2 Energy to immediately begin building a complete power production system using the NT Plasmatron.

The new NT Plasmatron system will convert hydrocarbon feedstocks such as natural gas, coal and garbage into syngas. The SteamRay rotary engine will burn the syngas and make electricity. The SunFilter 1 algae reactor will convert the flue gas from the SteamRay into algae, thereby sequestering the greenhouse gases normally associated with hydrocarbon-based power production.
