Dagens Naeringsliv reported that professor Olav Kvalheim at the University of Bergen had come across a method to utilise emissions such as carbon dioxide (CO2) and nitrogen oxides (NOx) to grow algae which could be fed to farm fish.
"Actually, it's a rather simple technology," Kvalheim said, adding that the method could almost completely remove emissions from gas-fired power plants into the atmosphere.
The new technology, owned by Green Global Energy, has been tested successfully for NOx and is currently being tested on CO2.
Natural gas develpment consortiums Naturkraft and Industrikraft Midt-Norge, which plan to build gas-fired power plants in western and central Norway both said they were positive about the new technology.
"The Global Green Systems technology is interesting because it offers a very good resource exploitation," said Petter Haugen of Industrikraft Midt-Norge.
