Forum: Carbon concentration in algae: Reducing CO2 from exhaust gas ($)

Electricity-generating power plant produce CO₂, and industrial and household waste water contains inorganic nutrients that can pollute waterways. What if both of these pollutants could be put to good use, for example in a growth medium for biofuel-producing algae? Ghosh and Kirin describe the feasibility of such a scheme, and point to opportunities for improving algal strains to be more photosynthetically efficient and more tolerant to other industrial gases including traces of SO_X and NO_X.
