Port of Bahia made objects as Energy Source

Port of Bahia plan sufficient in energy needs by building independent power plant of roasted seaweed. This will be the first facility in the type of fuel technology in Italy.

"The energy will be operating within two years and generate electric power of 40 megawatt," said the head of the port of Venice not mention his name, such as that cited Reuters, Thursday (2009/3/26).

He also added emission-free energy sources will help maintain the ecological balance of the lake in a beautiful historic city. Development of this power plant swallow own funds of 200 million euros, is also working with energy service companies, Enalg.

In addition to a source of energy for electricity, some companies are trying to make vegetable oil into water. For if it is processed, the oldest types of plants can be converted into biodiesel or other renewable energy sources.

In Bahia, seaweed cultivation is done in the laboratory. Of to put it in a plastic cylinder containing water, carbon dioxide. So, the ease of a process of photosynthesis in the water. Results Biomass objects will be processed further to produce fuel for the turbine rotate.

Port of Bahia megawatt require about 7 to adequate energy needs. Thus, the surplus energy will be used as a supply of fuel for ships anchored in the dock.

In addition, the expert handling of this project is also considering creating a garden photovaltic that can produce solar energy of 32 megawatt.
