Bio-Fixation of CO₂ from Coal-Fired Power Plant by Micro-Algae Chlorella Sp.: Effect of Biological Conditions

Abstract:

The main reason resulting in the greenhouse effect is the fact that CO₂ concentration of atmosphere is raised up. The largest part of CO₂ emissions caused by human activities is derived from coal-fired power plant. Consequently, in order to reduce CO₂ emissions on a large scale, we must focus on capturing CO₂ which is produced by coal-fired power stations. In this paper, we introduce advanced biological CCS technology which makes use of the Chlorella sp. to fix CO₂ from coal-fired power plant. The objective of the work is to discuss the effects of biological conditions (inoculums density, cultivation temperature and light intensity) on carbon sequestration efficiency, and to find a suitable cultivation environment for the growth of Chlorella sp.
