Abstract

The invention provides a method for the enhanced production of algal biomass with accompanying improved sequestration of carbon dioxide through photosynthesis, comprising the steps of b) providing a gaseous CO2 source; b) contacting the source with water and with a basic compound, whereby a CO2 product is generated, which CO2 product comprises at least one CO2 component, and optionally converting the CO2 product to a different CO2 product; c) forming a medium comprising algae and at least one CO2 product in which medium the generation of algal biomass for harvesting is enhanced as a function of the availability of the product; and d) harvesting generated algal biomass, whereby the algal biomass comprises carbon atoms of the CO2 product.

Claims

AMENDED CLAIMS
[received by the International Bureau on 25th September 2006 (25.09.06)]
34. The method of claim 1, wherein said gaseous source results from a chemical operation, said contacting Js conducted next to said chemical operation, said forming is conducted in a bioreactor and said bioreactor is distanced from said chemical operation, said method further comprising the step of pumping a COz product to said bioreactor.
35. The method of claim 1, further comprising a step of storing a CO2 product prior to said forming step.
36. The method of claim 35, wherein said algae are of photosynthetic nature, said biomass generation uses solar energy, and said biomass comprises carbon atoms originally present in CO2 provided during dark hours.
37. The method of claim 1 , wherein said gaseous source results from fermentation of carbohydrates to ethanol.
38. The method of claim 1, wherein said gaseous source is a product of flue gas desulfurization.
