Chemical/Paint Algae Carbon Capture: Make Your Own Algae Tank & Absorb CO2

[Ivan Seeking]

My first electronics 'project' ended up as a big wiry mess

And some kids ended up burning down the house. ;)

Well, I'm happy that this project is ... wet. Compared to some locked ones, it's so safe

Summary:: I want to save the planet.

So I want to make my own algae tank and use it to absorb carbon dioxide. Any advise and suggestions? And how do I get started?

The best way to get started is to do some reading on the subject. One source is the Biofuel Technology Handbook: https://www.researchgate.net/publication/228735855_Biofuel_technology_handbook. It looks like a good source. I downloaded it several years ago, got as far as page 50, and lost interest in biofuels based on what I read in the book.

Another source that looks good is Sustainable Development of Algal Biofuels in the United States: https://www.nap.edu/catalog/13437/sustainable-development-of-algal-biofuels-in-the-united-states. They have a free download that requires an email. I was able to get a copy by using a fake email address.

Are you implicitly suggesting the OP should grow algae in a tank to absorb CO2? Do you think this has value?
