Biodiesel production and captive use is possible where algae investors & the technology meets CO2 generation industries. A Canadian project shows how this can be done:
With support from the Ontario, Canada province, Pond Biofuels aims to get a full scale commercial facility into operation at St Marys Cement by 2014.
About one tonne of the algae will be able to produce 100 litres of biodiesel and production of the algae should help to reduce Ontario’s pollution costs, which currently amount to about $4 billion a year.
"This partnership between St. Marys Cement and Pond Biofuels, made possible with the support of the Government of Ontario, reinforces St Marys Cement's commitment to producing the most sustainable building materials available. With our goal of near-zero emission cement manufacturing and a biofuel distribution fleet, the most sustainable energy projects, green buildings, homes and highways of tomorrow will soon be a reality," adds Martin Vroegh, corporate environment manager of St Marys Cement.
