Algae - like a breath mint for smokestacks
By Mark Clayton | Staff writer of The Christian Science Monitor
Great article on a new method of removing carbon dioxide and nitrous oxide from smokestack emissions. Sulphur dioxide can easily be removed in another step. The beauty of it is that the algae harvested everyday can be processed to produce high-quality oils (bio-diesel) and make the whole operation profitable.
I like win-win technology!

Being a good Samaritan on air quality usually costs a bundle. But Berzin's pitch is one hard-nosed utility executives and climate-change skeptics might like: It can make a tidy profit.
