Hello Everyone!
Wondering if anyone has expertise in Algae Photobioreactor facades? Here is a product: https://cellparc.com/
My basic understanding is that they produce heat and biogas (as well as providing shade and some thermal value.) However, I am not clear on the GHG balance benefit, so to speak. I cannot determine if the upfront emboided carbon, and any operational energy) pays itself back in GHG savings, and as compared to what. And in NYC where this is being proposed, I am not even sure we can use the biogas on site due to the electrification law (really emissions limits on site).
(In general, I need to increase my understanding of the biogas, biochar, or short cycle carbon flows and how we should handle those best a those as compared to long term carbon cycles/fossil fuel versions.....)
Thank you so much for sharing any thoughts/ideas!!
Sara
