Odyssey Oil & Energy, Inc. Announces Pilot Plant Update
20 March 2010 - 12:31AM
Odyssey Oil & Energy, Inc. (OTCBB:OOGI) announces pilot plant
updates.
The Algae Bio-Fuels/Carbon Capture pilot plant at the Boschoek
smelter has been running successfully for 8 months. During this
time, many modifications have been made to improve the growing
conditions and productivity of the plant. The plant has met and
exceeded all goals set to date. We are currently introducing the
carbon dioxide from the smelter directly into the pilot plant. This
is a major step towards the completion stage of testing. The
process turns harmful emissions into oxygen while producing
bio-fuel, a clean renewable source of energy.
About the Bio-Fuels Division
ALG Western Oil (Pty) Ltd., a subsidiary of Odyssey, is
currently operating in a joint venture with Xstrata Alloys, a
subsidiary of Xstrata Plc (LSE:XTA), the world's largest producer
of ferrochrome, in a project at one of Xstrata's Ferrochrome
smelters near Rustenburg in South Africa to capture and sequestrate
the carbon dioxide emissions, thereby creating carbon credits.
Currently, all the carbon monoxide from the ferrochrome smelters
is flared to carbon dioxide and released into the atmosphere.
The current phase is the growing of a selected algae strain in
photo bio-reactors, utilizing the carbon dioxide (CO2) flue gas
coming from the exhausts of the generators (with the aid of
sunlight and some nutrients through the process of photosynthesis)
to sequestrate the environmentally harmful CO2 emissions and
produce high value compounds like vegetable oil which can be used
directly as a bio fuel instead of diesel and/or jet fuel,
carbohydrates and protein to be used in the animal feed industry
and the release of oxygen back into the atmosphere.
ALG Western Oil has a pilot plant at Xstrata's Boschoek Smelter.
The next phase will be the rolling out on a commercial scale.
The process turns harmful emissions into oxygen while producing
bio-fuel, a clean renewable source of energy. By using Algae as the
feedstock, no food-related resources are being consumed to produce
the bio-fuel.
