"""The BIORECYGAS technology, developed and pilot tested by ALGING, has demonstrated that removes 95% of NOx and proportional amount of CO2 from a simulated flue gas, beating the average 70-90% efficiency of the BAT technologies from NOx elimination and reducing the need of CO2 emission allowances. These results have been validated by an independent source testing firm that is certified by the California Air Resources Board.
In addition, BIORECYGAS uses the extracted NOx and CO2 as feedstock to grow Chlorella and other algae strains producing a biomass stream. This is raw material for products currently available and demanded in the market like: protein and sugar-rich agricultural products, protein rich foods and nutritional supplements, selective food oils and biodiesel. BIORECYGAS transforms NOx and CO2 emissions into a source of income.
Thus, the objective of the overall innovation project is to scale-up the capacities of the BIORECYGAS technology and perform a market demonstrator relevant to the main target industries: steel industries, concrete companies, oil&gas refineries, chemical industries, heavy industries and agricultural facilities for the final deployment of BIORECYGAS to the global market. In order to make the demonstrator as replicable as possible in different industries and in different regulatory traditions, Alging has selected the incineration plant ZABALGARBI: www.zabalgarbi.com this plant, the best of its kind in the region was awarded by the European Commission Directorate General with the highest recognition and funding level through the THERMIE Programme. Zabalgarbi serves more than 100 municipalities in the Biscay region compounding more than 1 million citizens. A signed letter of commitment is annexed to this proposal.""
