Renewable World Energies announces “commercially viable, closed system and automated microalgae production facility”

In South Carolina, Renewed World Energies (RWE) announced that they have developed the “first commercially viable, closed system and automated microalgae production facility,” and said its process can tolerate and utilize the nitrogen oxides and carbon dioxide from flue gas emitted from the power generation industry.

The company, founded last year, is based on a system design developed in the early 2000s. Management said that its output would be suitable for pharmaceuticals, nutraceuticals and cosmetics, organic feed, organic fertilizer, and used as a feed for the aquaculture feed, and as a feedstock for renewable jet fuel.
