I guess it depends on the size of the tank and the temp/amount of hot air as to whether you get happy algae or cooked algae! 2. Your right. Just so long as it doesn't get hyped as capturing carbon. Like Brian's idea - reminds me of Zeri's closed loops systems. see http://www.zeri.org/case_studies_beer.htm Tom,

I am a great believer in "What gets measured gets done", but costs of doing an energy audit in a small business are currently €2k plus. Do you think there is a market for DIY energy audit equipment that connects to the internet. I don't understand why the current equipment is so expensive?
