Tenaga Nasional looks at algae for CO2-reducing efforts

Tenaga Nasional is looking at algae in order to green its coal-fired plants.

THE use of coal to generate electricity is a rather carbon-intensive process: for every tonne of coal burnt, close to three tonnes of carbon dioxide (C02) are emitted. To look at it another way, every 1,000MW of installed capacity is estimated to emit six to eight million tonnes of CO2 per year.
