Vale's Clydach Nickel Refinery (CNR) in South Wales has been working with the RICE Group (Reducing Industrial Carbon Emissions) from Swansea University for the last two years.
The project aims to bridge the gap between ideas generated by research and developing these into commercial solutions that the industry can adopt.
CNR was asked to work collaboratively with RICE to use industrial carbon dioxide to grow algae in an algae farm.
