A Solution for Gainful Carbon Capture
Reducing Carbon Emissions
Industrial processes have been fundamental to improving human quality of life, but a CO₂ buildup in the atmosphere says it’s time to rethink these processes.
Pacific AgriTec offers a superior process that economically and efficiently removes CO₂ from combustion flue gas using photosynthesis and growing microalgae. The system design can be retrofitted to existing combustion plants having limited available space or located in remote areas such as the California oil field operation shown on the right.

The Pacific AgriTec process grows microalgae using CO₂ from combustion flue gas instead of air. The process requires much smaller space than ponds, tubes and bags, uses small quantities of make-water and produces no gas emissions other than clean oxygen (O₂). The process is proven by years of testing.
Processing of microalgae from flue gas (NOTE: not to scale).
Artificial photosynthesis is used to grow microalgae in a photobioreactor (PBR). The PBR scientifically replicates key natural elements, packages them into a focused environment, and configures the system to operate using flue gas from combustion to lower associated carbon emissions. Pacific AgriTec offers a superior process that economically and efficiently removes up to 90% of CO₂ from combustion flue gases with 70% and higher as permanent capture. Make-up water needs are small.

High-Grade Algae Products
Not only is carbon removed, but a value added bio-commodity is produced, dried and packed on-site for shipping to the customer. A wide range of microalgae species can be grown and harvested. This is because optimum lighting, temperature, pH, and nutrients are used. The produced algae is isolated from contaminants. Our customers can expect a reliable, high-quality product.
Pacific AgriTec marries industrial source CO₂ to algae photosynthesis. A proprietary Pacific AgriTec process uses optimal amounts of CO₂, light, and nutrients to make high-grade marketable algae. Algae is a robust, fast growing, and adaptable organism that has a host of beneficial uses equal or superior to many other biological commodities and its commercial demand is growing rapidly.

A Growing Demand for Carbon Credits
California, Canada, the European Union, and China have active carbon credit or tax programs. By putting a price on carbon emissions, the policies are intended to then reduce carbon emissions.
Pacific AgriTec's technology captures carbon using photosynthesis and the production of algae. U.S. Tax Code Section 45Q(f)(5)(A) qualifies photosynthesis, including the growing of algae.
Consensus on the utilization of carbon dioxide through growing of algae is universal.
