Carbon Harvest is culturing microalgae for a few different applications. Algae culture is an important component of our linked energy generation and greenhouse aquaculture facilities, allowing for the sequestration of carbon dioxide from our landfill gas combustion byproducts, as well as for the efficient reuse of the nutrients released in our fish production.
Carbon Harvest is currently working in partnership with the University of Vermont’s Rubenstein School on research funded by theDepartment of Energy and Vermont Sustainable Jobs Fund to investigate some of the processes related 
to cultivating microalgae using these combustion products, as well as the possibility of then using the biomass generated from the waste CO2 source as a feedstock for biofuel production.
Carbon Harvest is also working closely with researchers in sustainability science and sustainable aquaculture within the Environmental Studies Department at Dartmouth College to investigate the integration of microalgae culture into tilapia aquaculture. This research focuses on the utilization of microalgae cultures to more effectively cycle nutrients as well as an investigation of the use of microalgae biomass as a feed component for the fish including its effects on fish health and nutrition.
