Algae-based biofuel developer Plankton Power and the Regional Technology Development Corp. of Cape Cod, Mass., announced a collaboration to construct a pilot-scale algae-based biodiesel production facility as a part of their energy from waste efforts in Bourne, Mass.
The Cape Cod Algae Biorefinery will be located on five acres on the Massachusetts Military Reservation in Bourne. Felix said the location is ideal for the project, because of its on-site wastewater treatment plant, which will provide an excellent source of nutrients for the algae, and Massachusetts Military Reservation’s close proximity to the Cape Cod Canal, which would provide a convenient source of seawater and a renewable thermal energy source for algal growth and temperature control. Plankton Power hopes to generate approximately 1 MMgy of biodiesel using the waste water pond. When the pilot facility is up and running, which may be enough fuel to meet Cape Cod’s current biodiesel needs. This , if successful will definetely be a breakthrough in the energy from waste industry.
