<h1>Danske Regioner Klima09UK Page 28</h1>algae anD BIoFuel This biomass can then be used for industrial purposes, such as the production of biogas, liquid fuels, chemicals, food products, animal feed and health and beauty products. The reason for the great international interest in biofuels based on algae is that the CO2 it produces is environmentally neutral, compared to traditional fossil fuels. During its growth, the algae stores large amounts of CO2 through photosynthesis, and this CO2 is released again when the fuel is combusted. The new areas set aside for the cultivation of algae are one of the attractions which now draw between 20 and 100 guests a week to Lolland for the so-called 'Energy Tours', on which visitors receive a guided tour of the development initiatives that the little community has launched in the areas of hydrogen and biofuel. "Next week two foreign ministries, 168 secondary school students, and a housewives' association will pay us a visit," says Leo Christensen, project manager with Lolland Municipality. Today's guided tour is for members of the Danish Society of Engineers (IDA), who will be visiting the dykes in Onsevig. "If sea levels continue to rise, one third of the island of Lolland will disappear; it's as simple as that," says Leo Christensen, turning to the tall dykes that guard the coastline against the violent waves. The area behind the dykes is being used for experiments with algae pools, and a number of universities are collaborating to investigate the growth of particular kinds of algae. algae undeR the wind tuRbines The Lolland Municipality is working to make use of the areas underneath its off-shore wind turbine parks, as these provide ideal growth conditions for algae. The combination of electric power, sunlight and large amounts of nutrient salts in the sea water creates an optimum environment, and allows the municipality to make use of areas which would not be used for other purposes. "The electricity from the wind turbines gives us new possibilities to experiment with algae growing, as it makes it easy to combine the cultivation with pumps and lighting. This could produce results we have not seen before," says Leo Christensen. Another idea is to cultivate algae at district heating and sewage treatment plants, which can provide the algae with favourable growth conditions. Roskilde University, Aalborg University and Flensburg University are joining forces to cultivate algae for biofuel at a district heating plant at Søllested on Lolland. The project combines the heat and CO2 of the plant's exhaust gases with sewage, which contains all the nutrients that the algae need in order to grow. "It would be a beautiful world if the sewage of the big cities could become aircraft fuel in the airports of those same cities," says Leo Christensen. "It will be a long time before we get that far, but the technology and methods do already exist." Besides the fact that biofuel based on algae is CO2 neutral, its production does not take up valuable areas of agricultural land. The rising demand for biomass produced in arable crop areas has in some periods caused food prices to rise, with serious consequences for a number of third world countries. "These results can be disseminated to those parts of the world where they are really needed. There is enormous potential in cultivating algae as biomass, and thereby increasing our energy resources," says Leo Christensen. Aviation's green accounts according to the united nations' Intergovernmental panel on climate change, Ipcc, civil aviation accounts for around 2 percent of the world's emissions of greenhouse gases. If all sas aircraft were powered by biofuels, it would reduce the company's annual emissions of co2 from 5.7 million tons (corresponding to 10 percent of Denmark's total emissions of co2) to just over half that figure. the goal of sas is to reduce its co2 emissions by at least 20 percent by 2020, and in the long run to achieve co2 neutrality in its flights. 28 <a title="Danske Regioner -
