CONVERTING
CO2 TO POWER
Power plants generate smoke stack gases containing large amounts of CO2, which can be converted by algae into biofuels for transportation or fuel to power the same plant.

Power plants are the largest industrial producers of CO2 in the U.S., generating over 2.4 billion metric tons of carbon dioxide in 2006. Many of these plants are located in the southeastern United States near sources of water and in climates ideal for HR BioPetroleum's algae technology (see map). For these reasons, HR BioPetroleum intends to make power plant sources of CO2 a primary strategic focus.
Based on statistics provided by the U.S. Energy Information Administration, the CO2 emissions of power plants located in the five Gulf Coast states (Texas, Louisiana, Mississippi, Alabama, and Florida) alone totaled 549 million tons in 2006.
In addition, power plants outside the U.S. in developed and developing parts of the world also provide attractive business opportunities.
