As previously announced, the pilot plant is part of contractual arrangements that are fully funded by Reliance. This first container houses the algae photobioreactor assembly, which will be situated next to the world’s largest oil refinery, owned by Reliance Industries.
The photobioreactor will take CO2 from the refinery and use it in the production of algae, which in turn will be used for the production of sustainable, green energy.
