TECHNOLOGY FOCUS - BIOTECHNOLOGY - Preferred Components: The optical system includes several heliostats that direct incident solar radiation onto the photo-bioreactor. The optical system is configured to concentrate incident solar radiation onto the photo-bioreactor. The optical system includes a plano-convex lens, a Fresnel lens, and a concentrating mirror. The optical system is configured to deliver a concentration ratio of 2:1 and 10:1 and includes a filter for selecting a portion of the solar radiation entering the photo-bioreactor. The selected portion corresponds to an absorption peak of the photosynthetic organisms. The optical system comprises a fluorescent member for converting a portion of the solar radiation entering the photo-bioreactor to different wavelengths, which correspond to an absorption peak of the photosynthetic organisms. The transportation system includes a pipeline or a vehicle. The photosynthetic organisms include a genetically-modified plasmid with genes for fatty acid synthase so as to create biolipids as the precursor to the biofuel or include a genetically-modified plasmid with genes for butanol biosynthesis so as to create butanol as the biofuel. The photosynthetic organisms are genetically modified so as to produce sugars as the precursor to the biofuel. The system further comprises an organism which converts the sugars to butanol as the biofuel. The photo-bioreactor contains multiple species of photosynthetic organisms, at least two of the species having different absorption peaks. The metalloenzyme is a carbonic anhydrase. The Group I alkali metal is one of sodium and potassium and the acid is carbonic acid. The photosynthetic organisms in the photo-bioreactor include several species, at least two of which have different absorption peaks. Preferred Method: The photosynthetic organism is genetically modified for fatty acid synthase and the precursor includes a biolipid. The method further involves performing transesterification on the biolipid so as to produce biodiesel as the biofuel, combining the photosynthetic organisms with genetically modified organisms, and growing the genetically modified organisms, where the photosynthetic organisms produce sugar as the precursor, the genetically modified organisms are genetically modified for butanol biosynthesis, and the genetically modified organisms convert the sugar into butanol as the biofuel or combining the photosynthetic organisms with biofuel-producing organisms, and growing the biofuel-producing organisms, where the photosynthetic organisms are genetically modified to produce sugar as the precursor and the biofuel-producing organisms naturally convert the sugar into butanol as the biofuel, isolating the precursor for forming a biofuel, where the precursor includes a sugar and fermenting the sugar so as to produce butanol as the biofuel. The process of transporting includes capturing carbon dioxide from the source of carbon dioxide, compressing the captured carbon dioxide to supercritical limits, conveying the supercritical carbon dioxide through a pipeline, expanding the conveyed carbon dioxide, and supplying the expanded carbon dioxide to the photo-bioreactor at a pressure higher than ambient atmospheric pressure. The expanding serves to cool the photo-bioreactor. The transporting includes directing carbon dioxide from the source of carbon dioxide to a buffered aqueous solution containing metalloenzyme catalyst so as to form a salt of a Group I alkali metal, transferring the Group I alkali metal salt to a location of the photo-bioreactor and combining the Group I alkali metal salt with an acid in the photo-bioreactor so as to produce carbon dioxide gas.
