Linde and Sapphire Energy to co-develop system to deliver CO2 to commercial-scale algae systems

Green Car Congress

The Linde Group and algal-based crude oil and algal fuels developer Sapphire Energy, Inc. In addition, Linde will supply all of the CO 2 to Sapphire’s commercial demonstration facility in Columbus, New Mexico. The need for new sources of fuel as dependency on oil becomes more and more problematic is clear.
