Definitions
- This invention relates generally to systems for generating power and systems for producing gas products, and more particularly, to a system and method of employing exhaust and waste CO 2 to enhance the growth of algae as a commercial product and as a feedstock.
- the predominant green house gas produced by power plants is CO 2 .
- coal plants in the United States produce on average approximately 2.01 Lbs of CO 2 per KWH of power.
- Natural gas and petroleum plants produce about 1.6 Lbs Of CO 2 per KWH.
- These are "carbon positive" green house gasses, in that they were removed from the ground and released to the atmosphere. In a carbon neutral process no new emissions are released into the atmosphere. In other words, nothing that has been removed from the ground is released into the atmosphere. Only existing carbon and green house gasses that are already in circulation are processed and released.
- the current method of producing ammonia typically begins with fossil fuels such as coal, oil, natural gas, propane, butane, naphtha, etc. that are processed to liberate hydrogen.
- fossil fuels such as coal, oil, natural gas, propane, butane, naphtha, etc.
- This known approach disadvantageously strains limited resources.
- the known processes liberate significant amounts of carbon dioxide and other green house gasses that are believed by some to contribute to global warming.
- the known processes have resulted in political unrest, such as in China where the population battled over the rationing of fertilizer containing ammonia.

Abstract
Des systèmes et des procédés de génération d'énergie ou produisant des produits gazeux génèrent du CO2 en tant que sous-produit ou en tant que gaz à effet de serre. Plutôt que de rejeter celui-ci dans l'atmosphère, le CO2 est utilisé dans un bioréacteur pour augmenter la croissance d'algues. Les algues deviennent alors un produit commercial, ou elles peuvent être consommées en tant que combustible dans la génération d'énergie ou la production d'un produit gazeux.
