cmcl innovations leads the C-FAST project, which aims to produce liquid hydrocarbon fuels and commodity chemicals with a negative/neutral carbon footprint. The C-FAST (patent-filed) plant design uniquely combines sustainable and renewable energy (e.g. solar and wind) sources with algal biomass cultivation, processing and refining technologies. The spectrum of products and intermediates from the modular C-FAST plant provides environmentally sustainable “like-for-like” replacements for everyday oil derived products for the energy, food, pharmaceutical, nutraceutical, cosmetic and chemical industries. Such a plant enables the simultaneous meeting of both CO2 mitigation targets and growing demands for future world energy and commodity chemical supplies. The main objectives of the project are to: (1) Carry out a detailed design and techno-economic assessment of a C-FAST pilot plant, (2) Investigate long term value of future revenues (accounting for carbon credits, desalinated water, power grid, energy prices, high value chemicals, etc.), (3) To demonstrate how different production scales can benefit the UK/ EU with regards to their energy and sustainability concerns, (4) Establish and develop a UK/EU-based supply chain.

CMCL创新领导了C-FAST项目，该项目旨在生产具有负/中性碳足迹的液态烃燃料和商品化学品。C-FAST（已申请专利）工厂设计独特地将可持续和可再生能源（例如太阳能和风能）与藻类生物质培养、加工和精炼技术相结合。模块化C-FAST工厂的产品和中间体系列为能源、食品、制药、保健品、化妆品和化工行业的日常油衍生产品提供了环境可持续的“同类”替代品。这样的工厂能够同时满足二氧化碳减排目标和对未来世界能源和商品化学品供应日益增长的需求。该项目的主要目标是：（1）对C-FAST试验工厂进行详细设计和技术经济评估，（2）调查未来收入的长期价值（碳信用额、脱盐水、电网、能源价格、高价值化学品等），(3)为了证明不同的生产规模如何使英国/欧盟在能源和可持续性方面受益，（4）建立和发展以英国/欧盟为基础的供应链。
