RELO²P

Michael Göhlert

The RELO²P project is occupied with the recultivation of a former open-cast mine in Lausitz into a productive landscape. Aided by microalgae cultures in the colliery water, CO2 from the nearby power plant is depleted and converted into biomass. In keeping with the principle of rotation, this biomass can then be used to extract biodiesel and electricity in the nearby biopower plant. Sustainable tourism is possible in the shore area, where information is provided on the generation of sustainable energy in the region.
