Provide low- to negative carbon solution for food-grade sucrose production using photosynthetic microorganisms grown on non-potable water sources.
About
NREL provides renewable and economic solutions to industrial needs. In this case, photosynthetic microorganisms are well known and positioned to produce sucrose from only CO2, water, and sunlight. This allows a low-cost and negative carbon solution to the World's sucrose needs.
Key Benefits
Minimal inputs, CO2 reductions, non-competitive water usage, provides economic, in-house sucrose supply.
Applications
Any industry using food-grade sucrose.
