Algae based CO2 sequestration gaining popularity; Sapphire Makes Case for Algae-Biofuels in Cap & Trade

The president of Sapphire Energy, Cynthia J. Warner, testified today before the full U.S. Senate Committee on Environment and Public Works to encourage legislators to allow industries that produce carbon dioxide, such as coal-burning electric generators, to collect and transport their CO2 to companies like Sapphire Energy that make industrial waste and greenhouse gases (GHG) into low carbon gasoline, diesel and jet fuels.

Warner says re-using the carbon dioxide to grow algae would remove that greenhouse gas from the environment and create a sustainable energy supply. She also points out that over the next few years the algae industry will directly create approximately 11,700 jobs and another 30,000 jobs from indirect sources. These developments all over the world clearly indicates that CO2 sequestration will possibly be the used method to capture CO2.
