Algae Offers New Potential for Clean Energy Sources LINK

In A Nutshell:

Researchers at Concordia University have enhanced the design of micro-photosynthetic power cells (μPSCs) using algae, which can now more effectively generate clean electricity.

Key Points:

• The μPSCs use algae's natural photosynthesis and respiration processes to produce electricity, with the algae converting carbon dioxide into oxygen and usable energy.

• By connecting multiple μPSCs in optimized configurations, researchers have significantly increased both the voltage and current output, paving the way for practical applications.

• This technology not only produces clean energy but also absorbs CO2, positioning it as a negative carbon emission solution.

Why It Matters:

This technology presents a sustainable solution for energy generation, particularly for low-power applications like environmental sensors, optimizing both ecological impact and operational efficiency.
