Indian Minister Jairam Ramesh says Algae - A Super-critical Technology

You are at: Oilgae Blog.

The minister was speaking at the inauguration of a CEO forum associated with the Delhi Sustainable Development Summit (DSDS) organised by The Energy and Resources Institute (TERI).

Pointing out that India was already facing huge problems in areas like water supply and agriculture, Ramesh said: "Domestic imperatives should force us to look at the climate change far more seriously than we have."

The power ministry, he added, was already moving from "sub-critical to super-critical technology, which will reduce coal consumption" and described a new technique by which "we will capture carbon dioxide from flue (exhaust) gases (at power stations) and use it to produce micro-algae that in turn will produce oil".
