Another take on GreenFuel and CO2-sucking algae farms
Monday, February 6th, 2006I got a chance last week to interview Cary Bullock, CEO of GreenFuel Technologies, about the company’s plans to build large-scale algae farms beside natural gas and coal power plants. As I’ve mentioned in previous posts, the idea is that the algae soak up the CO2 and nitogren oxide emissions from the plants and be harvested later for ethanol and biodiesel production, among other things. It’s a fascinating idea, and one that would help some of North America’s biggest polluters comply with Kyoto and manage particulate emissions better. Here’s my Clean Break column today about the company, or click here to listen to the podcast.
