Veridium Converting Exhaust Carbon Dioxide from Ethanol Production

Veridium Corporation is applying its algae-based carbon-dioxide scrubber to convert exhaust carbon dioxide from the fermentation stage of ethanol production facilities into biomass for subsequent use in ethanol or biodiesel production.

Veridium, via its majority owner Greenshift, has a cynaobacteria (blue-green algae)-based bioreactor process for reducing greenhouse gases emissions from fossil-fueled combustion processes. (Earlier post.) The algae (a recently discovered iron-loving cyanobacterium, tentatively named Chroogloeocystis siderophila, discovered thriving in a hot stream at Yellowstone) grow in the bioreactor on membranes of woven fibers.
