Chosun University introduces algal photobioreactor technology

In China, South Korea’s Chosun University has signed a deal to introduce its photobioreactor technology for algae biofuels production to the Shandong Provincial Academy of Sciences. The cooperation could lead to 1000 square meters of algae production within the next two years. The photobioreactor technology from Chosun University would be used to stimulate growth of an oil-rich algae species discovered by the institute during preliminary lab research, for which the academy is currently seeking patent protection.
