Abstract (en)

[origin: WO9711154A1] The proposed solar photobioreactor for use in the production of algal biomass from gases, in particular CO2-containing gases, is provided with a frame (32) which carries a gas-permeable algal substrate (48) which can rotate about an axis (62) of rotation and can be exposed to predominantly laterally incident diffuse or direct sunlight. A drive unit (54) is provided for rotating the algal substrate (48) and a nutrient medium feed device (64) is provided for applying a nutrient medium to the algal substrate (48).
