BFS starts in Spain in late January, production of biofuel from microalgae fed by CO2 the cement Cemex.
Lead into gold. This is what Bio Fuel Systems (BFS) by developing an accelerated conversion process CO2 into bio-oil, comparable to fossil oil, approved as a fuel and can be used to make plastics, solvents, etc. It took five years to BFS to develop its process and file 22 patents. In late January, the company created in Spain by a French expatriate, start biofuel production in its pilot plant of Alicante.
This is the capture CO2 emitted by polluting industries and to feed microalgae placed in vertical tubes exposed to light to promote photosynthesis. The number of micro-algae, selected with the help of Valencia and Alicante universities for their features, double in twenty-four hours. Each day, half of the tube is removed and centrifuged. The pulp produced contains 2 3% to% value added nutrients, extracts to be exploited, and 97% biomass, transformed into bio-oil by high-temperature cracking, high pressure and without oxygen.
In this process, 2,2 tons of CO2 can produce a biofuel barrel and the process itself emits 1,260 ton of CO2. "The production of a barrel thus neutralizes 940 kg CO2" says associate director of BFS France, Pierre Baros. "On 100 kilometers, a car rolling 135 49 horses biopetroleum neutralize kg CO2 then she will issue 19 kg with fossil oil." BFS evaluates producing a barrel 30 dollars but intends to sell the fossil oil prices to finance the investments needed to create its plants.
The unit of Alicante occupies 11 hectares, 20 football, on the site of the Cemex cement plant. It will absorb tons of CO130.000 2 60.000 to produce bio-oil barrels and 400 tons of nutrients annually. A ton of Omega 3 kind of nutrients, for example, is currently 100.000 euros on the market. It would take an area equal to five times the Sardinia to produce 85 million barrels per day in world oil consumption, "adds Pierre Baros.
Financed by private capital, BFS has already signed two other units, Madeira (Portugal) for a power plant of 10 megawatts (MW) and Venice for a central 40 MW. "We aim to 6 8 signed and manufacturing units within three years," concludes Pierre Baros. BFS imagine already put his pipe in front of a building to recycle CO2 issued by the building itself ...
