Biological Algae

Using the algae with some chemical solvents to make a photobioreactor process reduces the percent of CO2 & gains bio-diesel as a good source of energy.

One of the environmental challenges facing the globe today, particularly in Egypt, is climate change. Additionally, the percentage of carbon dioxide in the atmosphere is rising, with consequences for Egypt. The amount of carbon dioxide in the atmosphere grew by 2.5 parts per million, and it is anticipated that it will rise much further, to another 2.5 PPM in 2022. Unfortunately, it has a wide range of negative effects for Egypt, including harm to human health and the threat to life, an increase in the level of water supplies, and repercussions on the population and food security. Since energy is a necessity for everyone's everyday existence, research is being done on energy resources to fully utilize them. There are two types of energy resources: renewable resources and non-renewable resources. Only 2% of Egypt's usage comes from renewable sources. Therefore, the majority of the energy we use comes from non-renewable sources, which have several drawbacks and are bad for the environment. In long term, this will pose a significant energy concern. As a result, researchers are working to fully utilize renewable resources like geothermal and solar energy. By using algae power, based on scientific research, to reduce the amount of carbon dioxide in the atmosphere and obtain a renewable energy source, these two issues can be resolved.

Egypt and some countries around the world face the problem of the increase in the percent of CO2 and the running out of traditional sources of energy. These problems are related to other problems such as pollution, climate change, and a bad industrial base. The purpose of the study is to find a way the production of new alternative energy and at the same time decrease the percentage of CO. So, by hard research and effective work and the wishing to reach design requirements that are reducing pollution (eco-friendly), we find a solution to this problem. The solution is a modified and edited photobioreactor by taking the Carbon Dioxide in the atmosphere that caused many problems like global warming and water to produce a BIO-oil that doesn't emit any harmful gases, unlike fossil fuel. The design requirement is reducing pollution (eco-friendly). We searched for the parts that are available locally in Egypt. After searching for a method, we wish that the results be good and positive as we want. Our prototype is eco-friendly as it doesn't emit or radiate any harmful gases to the surrounding environment. Our prototype is effective and we see that if it is built on a real-life scale, it will help the country to pass these grand challenges easily. The processes of establishing this prototype will be explained in the next sections in detail. So, by turning the CO2 that emits from the algae (Green Power) into BIO-diesel a good and new source of energy, at the same time we reduce the percentage of the C02. With this solution, we fix and solve the two problems that we discuss.

Our solution serves the people in cities with a high percentage of CO2 as it works to reduce it. The CO2 and the decrease in the source of energy problems are harmful to humans so, the solution that solves these problems is helpful for people because the solution work on reducing the percent of CO2 by turning the algae which is a source of CO2 to BIO-diesel which is a good source of energy. This project helps humans as it makes biodiesel from the algae so it found a new source of energy instead of the traditional sources which are (Benzene, Petrol, and Coal). This helps the people who are affected by these problems.

The skills of our team, are that we know and understand the idea and our project very well and we can convince anyone of this idea it will change the world and help many people and save their lives we are good researchers so our information is trustworthy and from trusted places and journals and we apply this idea before so we have big experience with this idea so we can apply it in perfect way.

At first, we search in an accurate way, what is the problems that affect people the most and people really really need to solve these problems so we understand that people need to solve this problem which Increases the CO2 percent and the lack of alternative sources of energy so we work on people needs to solve. we know that people who need the most help are people in the city with a high concentration of people because this increase the percentage of CO2 like Cairo the city which we are targeting.

That I solve two big problems by one idea in one prototype

I want to make our prototype on a large scale so I search about if I want to make it in large scale what will it need and I found to build this project in real life you should know that for the algae to reproduce and cultivate, it needs high light intensity that should be available from 10 to 15 hours a day. Also, it needs water and air supplies. The best and the most suitable place is the Aswan governorate. Aswan has a high light intensity that remains for more than 12 hours a day. And it needs the paddlewheel as it is used for automatically stirring the algae to save it from dying.  

The Arduino nano and the CO2 sensor which used to measure the percent of CO2 before and after the process to ensure that our idea is working.

There is no specific number but we target all people who are affected by air pollution and all countries which have a high percentage of air pollution.

This prototype to build in a large scale need a lot of money so we have a problem with that.
