Atmospheric CO2 Enrichment and Delivery (ACED)
Microalgae are very useful biological systems for capturing carbon dioxide (CO2 ) and generating biomass and many useful products. Increasing the CO2 concentration in gas supplied to a microalgae growth system can improve its productivity many fold over using atmospheric air. Flue gas could be a good source of CO2 -enriched gas; however, its usefulness...

Holographic Lens / Mirror Aperture (HL/MA) Design for Hybrid Thermal Solar Systems
Researchers at the University of Arizona have designed a hybrid solar collection and distribution system to optimize the use of the solar collector footprint as well as the solar spectrum. The system splits the spectrum into two components to distribute the peak wavelengths for algae growth, PV, and thermal uses. Algae responds best to photosynthesis...
