Optional Site Visit
ENN International Algae Facility in Langfang13:30 Gather at lobby and board the bus for visit to ENN International algae facility
14:30 Arrive ENN – Langfang
Duration of Tour – From 14:30 – 16:00
Information on ENN and site visit
ENN is a fast-growing Chinese energy company. The 24,000 employee, 4 US$billion company, is heavily involved in the energy business and developing technology to pass carbon dioxide through algae to help reduce China’s greenhouse gas emissions from their coal power plants that currently provide 70% of the electrical energy needs of the country.
Coal is first gasified in a simulated underground environment. The carbon dioxide is extracted with the help of solar and wind power, then “fed” to algae, which can be then used to make biofuel, fertiliser or animal feed The site visit is in Langfang , an hour’s drive from Beijing.
It will include a tour of the laboratory where a team of scientists are testing microalgae to clean up the back-end of a uniquely integrated process to extract and use coal more efficiently and cleanly than is possible today.It’s part of a joint venture between ENN and Duke Energy, the largest US public utility.
The tour will also include a visit to the bioreactors, which you will also get a chance to see the greenhouse filled with walls of clear glass tubing through which the green sludge circulates.
16:30 Participants leave the site
17:30 Bus arrives back to hotel
Fee: USD100 (per person)
