Greenhouse and trace gases

This project will demonstrate the commercial feasibility of producing bio-oil by the conversion of algae biomass that has been grown in wastewater treatment facilities. In particular we aim to maximise algae production in High Rate Algal Ponds (HRAP) by adding carbon dioxide, and demonstrate energy efficient conversion of algal biomass to bio-oil.

Various meteorological parameters, such as wind speed and direction, air temperature and relative humidity are also measured at Baring Head.
