Dow has posted a short video clip outlining its partnership with Algenol Biofuels to build a pilot-scale algae-based integrated biorefinery that will produce ethanol, located at Dow’s Freeport, Texas site. (Earlier post.)

Steve Tuttle, Global Business Director, Biosciences, Ventures & Business Development for Dow, provides a brief overview of the direct-to-ethanol process, along with some infographics and a few shots of the biorefinery under construction.

In addition to land and providing an industrial CO₂ source, Dow will provide the advanced materials, specialty films and water treatment solutions that will be used in the photobioreactor (PBR) system.
