The U.S. Department of Energy (DOE) is proposing to provide funding to MicroBio Engineering, Inc. (MBE) to design, fabricate, and test a novel direct air-capture (DAC) system for algae cultivation applications. The award aims to fabricate a pilot DAC system capable of using the metabolic capacity of algal cells to increase the capture of carbon dioxide (CO2) from the air.
