This project proposes partnership between the Western University and BFC Technologies Inc. for development of a breakthrough technology which targets the construction of "bio-solar façade panels" (BSF) to cultivate microalgae and/or bacteria inside plane thin and aesthetic photobioreactors (PBR) integrated into building façade. The project aims at improving the environmental quality of the new generation of buildings by increasing their energetic performance, CO2 capture and transformation, oxygen production, wastewater treatment, production of value-added products with food and cosmetic applications and circular economy. It offers a great opportunity of an economical alternative solution for algal-culture development which is now hindered due to high production costs and energy consumption.Bio-solar façade technology also helps to offset the costs of clean energy transition in the building sector by providing a revenue stream through the algal biomass that is produced by the PBRs. The outcomes of the proposed project are of exceptional importance to Canada and may also be important internationally to meet GHG reduction targets by using bio-solar façade panels integrated in buildings.

该项目提议西部大学和 BFC Technologies Inc. 合作开发一项突破性技术，目标是建造“生物太阳能外墙板”(BSF)，以在集成到建筑外墙的平面薄且美观的光生物反应器 (PBR) 内培养微藻和/或细菌。该项目旨在通过提高新一代建筑的能源性能、二氧化碳捕获和转化、氧气生产、废水处理、食品和化妆品应用的增值产品生产以及循环经济来改善新一代建筑的环境质量。它为藻类养殖发展提供了一个经济替代解决方案的绝佳机会，而藻类养殖发展目前由于高生产成本和能源消耗而受到阻碍。生物太阳能外墙技术还通过通过 PBR 产生的藻类生物质提供收入流，有助于抵消建筑领域清洁能源转型的成本。拟议项目的成果对加拿大极为重要，对于国际上通过使用集成在建筑物中的生物太阳能外墙板来实现温室气体减排目标也可能很重要。
