Ultimo, University of Technology Sydney, Green Genie

 
The Green Genie is located outside the University of Technology Sydney, along Jones Street in the inner city suburb of Ultimo. It is part of UTS Algal Phenomics Facility which can rapidly screen, test, evolve and characterise algae to optimise their potential for developing new products, accelerate production and innovate sustainable biology. The Green Genie fits into a standard six-metre shipping container for direct air carbon capture, wastewater treatment and algae biomass production that at full capacity is expected to capture up to seven tonnes of carbon a year; and provides a scale-solution to create algae-based products including plastics, food and feed.
