However, human activity also produces nitrogen and phosphorus waste as well. Algae are natures natural pollution control agents and are capable of recycling C, N, and P to form nutritional and healthcare products, thus forming a sustainable circular economy. This talk will outline the current state-of-the-art in algal production, including abatement of CO2 from the Vale Europe Ltd nickel refinery in Clydach.
