National Aeronautics andSpace Administrationwww.nasa.gov he limits and liabilities of fossil fuels are apparent; evidence that microalgae may provide Is large-scale, environmentally sensitive, economical microalgae cultivation possible? Can it be done without competing with agriculture for freshwater, fertilizer, or land?to a floating infrastructure anchored offshore in a protected bay. Wastewater and COfacilities provide water and nutrients. The surrounding kills algae that escape from the system. The salt gradient harvesting. The OMEGA infrastructure also supports solar panels and access to offshore wave generators system are resources for another. In addition, the parts wastewater, sequestering COhabitat, the system is environmentally friendly. By using offshore, OMEGA does not impact agriculture. OMEGA Could Be the AnswerCritical Questions Santa CruCDFG 1 5 2 4 3 1 4 2 The schematic of the OMEGA system shows flow from OMEGA ProjectThe OMEGA project, funded by NASA ARMD, 1) to investigate the feasibility of OMEGA and 2) to transfer the technology.depends on engineering, biology, economics, and environmental issues. We therefore built floating To transfer the technology, ideas and information and videos, and shared on the Internet. The goal is to motivate other OMEGA projects to develop the use of fossil fuels globally. National Aeronautics andSpace Administrationwww.nasa.gov Accomplishments (NASA OMEGA project: Jan 2010 - May 2012) • Demonstrated controlled microalgae growth on wastewater in floating PBRs • Operated 100, 200, systems for repeated algal growth cycles. • Treated wastewater and recycled nutrients effectively • Showed efficient uptake of CO column For more information, contact: Jonathan Trent, Ph.D. NASA Ames Research Center Email:or see:http://www.nasa.gov/centers/ames/research/OMEGA/index.htmlhttp://www.algaeindustrymagazine.com/nasas-omegahttp://www.youtube.com/watch?v=A6oekxl0JAs, http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1_z-LnKNlcohttp://www.youtube.com/watch?v=c7Goyg12Reg.
