All-gas project enters its demo stage
Type of post: NEWS IN BRIEF.
The EU Commissioner for Climate Action and
Energy, Miguel Arias Cañete, opened the new phase of the All-gas project at the wastewater treatment
plant of Chiclana (Cádiz, Spain) last Friday. The project is aimed at the
biogas production from the cultivation of microalgae in waste water
(reclaimed). All-gas (Industrial scale demonstration of sustainable algae
cultures for biofuel production) is co-funded by the European Union through 7th
Framework Programme (Call: ENERGY.2010.3.4-1 - Biofuels from algae, topic:
FP7-ENERGY-2010-2).

The previous activities of the pilot and
prototype phases have been completed successfully and have enabled the
production of biogas, which is being tested in different vehicles to check its
performance. Now, the project enters its demonstration stage after the
completion of the works carried out inside the local authority lands close to
the wastewater plant of El Torno. The following video summarizes the seven
years of the lifetime of the project.
