Not only the abbreviation of the name is ‘BAGS’ but the system itself is based on plastic bags – synthesising captured CO2 emissions, on a continuous basis, in a fully enclosed proprietary plastic membrane. The company states that the technology is relatively low-cost to produce, deploy and operate. The BAGS membranes are supposed to provide the algae with a controlled environment in which they should double in mass every 24 to 48 hours.
The rapid growth of algae is enhanced by a constant flow of captured NOx and SOx which are dissolved into nutrient-rich waste water that slowly circulates through the membranes. The algae biomass is dewatered and processed with intended end use as bio fuels (including oils and briquettes), nutrition or fertiliser production.
The company is currently trialling the technology, claiming that the benefits are much broader than carbon dioxide capture and re-use.

Recent attacks on Ukraine’s Zaporizhzhia nuclear power plant "mark the beginning of a new and gravely dangerous front of the war," the UN atomic agency's director general said last week.
After years of inaction, Germany is working on its Carbon Management Strategy to resolve how CCS can play a role in climate action in industry.

Bellona Deutschland, who was actively involved in the previous stakeholder dialogue submitted a statement in the association hearing.
In the midst of a global discussion on whether natural gas should be used as a transitional fuel and whether emissions from its extraction, production, transport and use are significantly less than those from other fossil fuels, Russia has developed ambitious plans to increase its own production of liquified natural gas (LNG) in the Arctic – a region with 75% of proven gas reserves in Russia – to raise its share in the international gas trade.
