PROJECT PRECIS 1 PRECIS VIVO Team: GUO Yunlong*, LIN Nan, YU Chenjian, CUI Xiaohong, ZHAO Junjie The VIVO Team from Zhejiang University has designed a conjoint project of 90,000t/yr CO2 capture and microalgae cultivation for Dalian Songmudao Chemical Industry Park. We use ameliorated MEAMDEA as the main absorbent to capture more than 80% of the CO2 from the flue gas of the heat-engine plant in the industry park. 90,000 tons per year of CO2 is divided into two parts: 20,000 tons supplies the Microalgae Cultivation Section; the rest 70,000 tons to be sold goes directly to storage tanks. In this project, we combine traditional chemical engineering with the advanced biochemical engineering, and realize circular economy by capturing CO2 and producing high value-added Chlorella product. Therefore it is very promising both for environment protection and for economic benefits. With a rising level of greenhouse gas threatening the existence of mankind, we, as a new generation of responsible chemical engineers, are urged to think about how to reach an optimized economical development with a reduced emission of Carbon Dioxide (CO ). 2 Now Carbon Dioxide Capture, Storage and Utilization (CCSU) is such a concept that endeavors to reduce CO2 level and leads a circular economy. Support by both government and industries, researchers have devised many methods to capture CO2 in large amount, although few of which can be put into practice. Therefore, how to maximize the capture an
