The U.S. Department of Energy (DOE) is proposing to provide federal funding to Colorado State University (CSU) to design, fabricate, and test an enhanced inorganic carbon delivery system utilizing enzymatic membrane technology to transfer carbon dioxide from a gas to water in algal ponds. In parallel, the project would develop variants of marine microalgae capable of higher rates of biocarbonate uptake and metabolism complementary to growth under system conditions, in order to demonstrate increased carbon utilization efficiency and areal productivity as well as generate biomass yield data for conceptual integration of this process into fuel production models.
