Reduction of Carbon Footprint by means of Chlorella sp. cultures in photobioreactors

Resumen

The high levels of greenhouse gases in the atmosphere and the changes caused on the environment make impresindible develop tools that improve the sustainability of human activities. The new greenvertising in several markets and growing environmental concern makes quite attractive to develop tools to reduce the environmental impact of business operations without reducing production level or quality. Microalgae´s cultures are bloody efficient CO2 sequestration. These crops when are performed into bioreactors, they greatly improves the culture conditions being controlled and more effective. Two types of companies were modeling by means of microalgal production: a vineyard and agribusiness enterprise where emissions were used by the companies for the 2012. Finally it takes 15 and 18 photobioreactors respectively, which was designed with a volumetric capacity of 13 [m3] with a proposal absorbing 80% of the contaminant load. Once stabilized the culture system, you can perform the audits to certify Carbon Footprint later to make branding strategies business
