The System collects carbon dioxide and heat from exhaust of factories and power plants into a formulated liquid mixture.
This mixture and nutrients feed into an aquatic system to continuously grow seaweed plants (not algae).
The aquatic system is a close-loop system and consumes high amount of carbon dioxide through photosynthesis.
This system is 2 to 3 times more effective at consuming CO2 compared with an open system.
The aquatic systems have the advantages of indoor placement, stacking space efficiency and create multiple aquatic plant farms that are easy to maintain.
The fast growing seaweeds, which contain high amount of polysaccharides, are made into biofuel (ethanol and bio-diesel),
and remained is made into compost to encourage planting.
Carbon emission reduction system actively reduces CO2 emission from power plants and factories while improve local air quality.
With this system, dirty energy such as coal burning energy, will become clean energy with zero or low carbon emission.
Revenue from biofuel production is one of major economic incentives that encourage power plants to install this
carbon emission reduction system.
Incomes from biofuel and compost not only cover the operation cost, but also pay for the initial investment.
This built-in incentive can promote and spread this technology globally.
The biofuel products substitute a portion of gasoline, diesel, and burning fuel consumption.
Unlike corn, the ethanol production will not use current food supply and affect food prices.
Carbon emission reduction system is workable and profitable.
Collecting CO2 and subsequently converting into biofuel is an economic sustainable
way to tremendously reduce carbon dioxide emission released into atmosphere.
 What problem or issue does Carbon Emission Reduction System address?
Clean energy on a wide scale is still decades into the future.
We need to solve our current energy and pollution problems urgently and prevent further deterioration of increasing
climate change.
The system will address the following issues:
1) Pollution problems from legacy dirty energy such as coal burning
in power plants and other fossil fuel burning facilities, turn into clean energy.
2) Reduce carbon dioxide emission and global warming.
3) Reduce petroleum usage dependency.
The system is environmentally friendly, low power consumption, space efficient and
profitable in operation.
For example, if a portion of coal-burning power plants in US (annual coal consumption about 1,000 million ton) implements
this idea,
the global carbon dioxide level can drop significantly and furthermore biofuel (ethanol, bio-diesel) production to replace petroleum fuel can reach 400 million barrels.
With this system, the achievement of CO2 reduction will not raise food stock price or the energy price.
Benefit to all
Everyone will benefit from improved environment and lower energy bills.
Public:
1) Improved air quality and public health (asthma, allergy, skin irritation).
2) Reduce global warming and climate changes.
3) Reduced energy bill from electricity and gasoline.
4) Reduce petroleum oil dependency with biofuel and ethanol from renewable source.
5) Create new jobs through reformed manufacturing and energy industry.
Factories and Power Plants:
1) Become clean energy.
2) Fulfill the requirement of carbon reduction. No need to buy additional carbon credits.
3) Increase profit. This is one of the least resistant ways to reform manufacturing and energy industry to become environmentally friendly industry.
Refinery:
1) Fulfill requirement of carbon reduction.
2) Fulfill the law of ethanol production without using corn or other food stock.
