Project results evaluation
Strains of algae with a high growth rate tolerant to a high CO2 content in waste flue gases of incineration plants and biogas plants were selected. The approaches found out enabled comtrolled overproduction of starch of oil (70% or 60% dry weight of algabiomass)ASCR in Třeboň and at biogas plant in animal farm in Dublovice (Czech Republic)
