In 2015, NRC, Pond Technologies, and St Marys Cement, which operates as part of Votorantim Cimentos, finalized a partnership to implement an algal biorefinery at a St Marys Cement plant in Ontario. The Algal Carbon Conversion (ACC) algal biorefinery will leverage a 25,000 L photobioreactor operating within a pilot scale algal biorefinery to recycle CO2 emissions emanating from the plant's operations by incorporating them into algal biomass.
