For the last five years, Seambiotic has carried out R&D pilot study at the Israeli Electric Corporation's power station located at the Mediterranean shore near the city Ashkelon, Israel.
Throughout the study, new and advanced research methods have been developed for cultivation of various speices of marine microalgae using the power station's CO2 emissions released directly from their smokestacks and which pass through pipelines directly to Seambiotic's open ponds.
Seambiotic's efforts in cultivating microalgae utilizing flue gas emissions from power plants is a great step towards the reduction of air pollution and global warming.
The reduction of pollution is a growing challenge to the civilized world, in general, and to the energy industry, in particular. Once Seambiotic's activities are scaled up, the company is expected to contribute to a sizeable reduction in CO2 emissions.
The pilot plant runs by Seambiotic has proven much success and reached an impressive concentration of algae containing high percentage of lipids and carbohydrates in a very short term, which promotes the production of bio-fuel.
Seambiotic's technology and unique know-how can be profitably exploited in two major areas: Biofuel and Omega 3 Oil.
