Title:

CO2 Capture via Microbial Route

Value Proposition:

CO2 emission Industries and societal.

Summary Application:

CO2 capture via microbial route process by CSIR CIMFR will lead to environment-friendly alternatives to chemically CO2 capture process.  CO2 capture using algae is an eco-friendly, rapid process for thermal power plant and natural gas processing industry. The CO2 capture via microbial route is having multiple modes of application with modified algal growth media derived from coal mine water.  Further the novel bioreactor designed and used in the process is having in-built organic fibrous matrix for support of the filamentous algae growth, rapid proliferation and easy recovery.

Advantages:

CSIR CIMFR Developed process on CO2 capture through micro algae offers a cost effective option towards reducing our carbon footprint  and a key tool for reducing greenhouse gas emissions from natural gas and thermal power industries.
