The maximization of hydrogen rhythmic production in large scale photobioreactors from genetically modified microalgae biomass

Dias F.G., Vargas J.V.C., Kava V., Ordonez J.C., Balmant W., Mariano A.B., Federal University of Parana, BR

A transient mathematical model for managing microalgae derived hydrogen production as a source of renewable energy is developed for large scale compact photobioreactors (PBR). The model allows for the determination of microalgae and hydrogen mass [...]

The Electrobiome® Platform: Synthesis of ElectroFuels and Chemicals from CO2

May H.D., LaBelle E.V., Synbiohm LLC and Medical University of South Carolina, US

Technology: Dr. May and colleagues have discovered and developed the Electrobiome® which converts CO2, water, and electricity into hydrogen (H2), formic acid, and acetic acid while serving as a biocathode in an electrochemical cell. Synbiohm [...]

Solar automated greenhouse

Rabago F., de Santago E., Moncada J.I., Universidad Autonoma de San Luis Potosi, MX

In this work we presente the results obtained with a electronic circuit to control temperature, water, humidity and fertilizer of plants in a greenhouse. Different sensors were located in the greenhouse and electrovalves were activated [...]
