Pre-commercialization of the Emergent P2P Microalgae Clean Technology: Cleaning Industrial GHG Emissions - Creating High-Value Bio-Products

在区域行业合作伙伴的支持下，NSERC CCI IE资助（2010-2016）使GPRC能够通过严格的科学开发和验证推进其pha模型微藻光生物反应器（PBR），获得专利保护的P2P微藻技术准备进行预商业化。这一发展是为了响应当地对温室气体排放控制和经济发展的需求。大草原地区学院提出了这个商业和工业驱动的扩展IE提案，以预商业化我们新的p2p微藻清洁技术，以捕获排放的污染物并将其净化成高价值的生物产品。行业资助伙伴来自废物转化为能源、采矿和林业部门。两个合作伙伴和一个业务开发人员（支持信）有兴趣购买和/或商业化该技术。该项目将在一个合作伙伴的绿色能源（生物质能）发电厂附近建立一个商业前试点。排放的烟气将直接进入含有藻类、水和营养物的PBR。当暴露在阳光下时，藻类会进行光合作用（捕获碳和排放的空气污染物——释放氧气），将它们转化为有价值的生物产品。该项目将使生产规模验证；捕获效率（二氧化碳等），生物产品的产生，以及相关的商业成本（即生产成本）。GPRC完全支持这一申请，因为p2p倡议有1)一个强大的、具有科学能力的核心研究团队；2)在本学科领域建立了世界一流的研发资源和基础设施；3)来自长期行业合作伙伴在工程、商业分析、融资和商业化规划方面的强劲现金和实物贡献；4)地区产业和社区的支持。

NSERC CCI IE grant (2010-2016) supported by regional industry partners has enabled GPRC to advance itsalpha model micro-algae photo-bioreactor (PBR) through rigorous scientific development and verification, intopatent protected P2P Microalgae Technology poised for pre-commercialization. This development was inresponse to local needs for GHG emission control and economic development. Grande Prairie RegionalCollege presents this business- and industry-driven Extend IE proposal to pre-commercialize our new P2PMicroalgae Clean Technology to capture emitted pollutants and to decontaminate them into high-valuebio-products. Industry funding partners are from the waste-to-energy, mining and forestry sectors. Twopartners and one business developer (letter of support) are interested in the purchase and/ or commercializationof this technology. The project will enable set-up of a pre-commercial pilot located adjacent to one partner'sgreen energy (biomass) power plant. Emitted flue gas will be directed into the PBR containing algae, waterand nutrients. When exposed to sunlight, algae will photosynthesize (capture carbon other emitted airpollutants - releasing oxygen) transforming (decontaminating) them into valuable bio-products. This projectwill enable production scale verification of; capture efficacies (CO2 et al), bio-products generation, and theassociated business costs (i.e. cost of production). GPRC fully supports this application because the P2PInitiative has 1) a strong scientifically-competent core research team under demonstrated leadership; 2)established world-class R&D resources and infrastructure in this subject area; 3) strong cash and in-kindcontributions from long-term industry partners in engineering, business analysis, financing, andcommercialization planning; and 4) the support from /regional industry and communities.
