Dow Video on Partnership with Algenol for CO2-to-Ethanol
7 November 2009
Dow has posted a short video clip outlining its partnership with Algenol Biofuels to build a pilot-scale algae-based integrated biorefinery that will produce ethanol, located at Dow’s Freeport, Texas site. (Earlier post.)
Steve Tuttle, Global Business Director, Biosciences, Ventures & Business Development for Dow, provides a brief overview of the direct-to-ethanol process, along with some infographics and a few shots of the biorefinery under construction.
In addition to land and providing an industrial CO2 source, Dow will provide the advanced materials, specialty films and water treatment solutions that will be used in the photobioreactor (PBR) system.

Another positive step. Their bioreactor consists of poly-closed salt water races. The algae species they're using directly converts the nearby CO2 flu gas to ethanol.
A good project that can possibly be very profitable and help build energy independence.
