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拨款（2010-2016）使GPRC能够通过严格的科学开发和验证，推进其α型微藻光生物反应器（PBR），进入受专利保护的P2P微藻技术准备进行预商业化。这一发展是为了满足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行业驱动的扩展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**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）对该技术的购买和/或商业化**感兴趣。该项目将在一个合作伙伴的绿色能源（生物质）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。本项目**将实现生产规模验证；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**计划有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)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大现金和实物贡献；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 its**alpha model micro-algae photo-bioreactor (PBR) through rigorous scientific development and verification, into**patent protected P2P Microalgae Technology poised for pre-commercialization. This development was in**response to local needs for GHG emission control and economic development. Grande Prairie Regional**College presents this business- and industry-driven Extend IE proposal to pre-commercialize our new P2P**Microalgae Clean Technology to capture emitted pollutants and to decontaminate them into high-value**bio-products. Industry funding partners are from the waste-to-energy, mining and forestry sectors. Two**partners and one business developer (letter of support) are interested in the purchase and/ or commercialization**of this technology. The project will enable set-up of a pre-commercial pilot located adjacent to one partner's**green energy (biomass) power plant. Emitted flue gas will be directed into the PBR containing algae, water**and nutrients. When exposed to sunlight, algae will photosynthesize (capture carbon other emitted air**pollutants - releasing oxygen) transforming (decontaminating) them into valuable bio-products. This project**will enable production scale verification of; capture efficacies (CO2 et al), bio-products generation, and the**associated business costs (i.e. cost of production). GPRC fully supports this application because the P2P**Initiative 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-kind**contributions from long-term industry partners in engineering, business analysis, financing, and**commercialization planning; and 4) the support from /regional industry and communities.
