ABSTRACT
ABST R AC T In this paper we examine a promising pathway involving the elimination of CO2 emissions by growing oil-containing algae which naturally absorb solar energy during the growth phase. The dry algae or algal oil can be used as a fuel in the power plant boilers or to make bio-diesel. The remaining biomass can also be used for producing thermal energy. If we use dry algae or algae oil as a fuel in the power plant boiler, then in the extreme one can envision the following process:
1. Use enough fossil fuel to produce sufcient amount of CO2 to produce as much algae oil as needed for electricity production and for algae processing.
