Abstract: The invention relates to a method and to a device for photosynthesis-supported exhaust gas disposal, particularly CO2 disposal. In order to compensate, even locally, for CO2 produced by energy generation or by processing energy carriers, the invention proposes that exhaust gases from combustion processes or chemical processes act as a CO2 source, wherein the exhaust gas is fed directly, or under pressure in water, forming carbon dioxide dissolved in water, into an at least partially closed system, in which rapidly growing photosynthetically active biomasses are cultivated, and that the biomass is harvested cyclically, and that further biomass reproduces automatically from the remaining biomass.

Abstract: A method for producing especially oleic acid and fatty acid extracts, and oleic acids and fatty acids themselves. In order to obtain active ingredients, especially oleic acids or fatty acids, from a noninvasive plant in large amounts, without the use of genetic manipulation processes, for reasons relating to agricultural laws, the oleic acid or fatty acid extracts are obtained from the biological material, i.e. the plant material, of the novel plant variety CANDY (CPVO 2007/1958).

Abstract: A new Eichhornia crassipes plant named ‘Johann schoofs Sen’ is provided which is well suited to serve as a biomass renewable energy source. The plant is particularly well suited to metabolize carbon dioxide from emissions. A free-floating small compact mat-like growth habit is displayed with an intertwined root ball. A typical leaf petiole is absent, and the roots are finely structured. The leaves are dark green in coloration, and the plant survives well under low-light conditions. The plant generates itself from new shoots and commonly can double its biomass in approximately 10 to 14 days.

Abstract: A new Lemna minor plant named ‘Henry Blanke’ is provided. The plant is particularly well suited to serve as a biomass renewable energy source. The plant is small in stature but unlike Dwarf Duckweed possesses short roots which well enable the absorption of nutrients present in water. Such short roots also enable the ready separation of adjoining plants. Strong green leaves are displayed. The plant is well able to maintain active biosynthesis under low light conditions. The plant is particularly well suited to metabolize carbon dioxide from emissions with a simultaneous increase of mass.

Abstract: The present invention relates to a cultivation substrate and to a method of preparing the same. The cultivation substrate of the invention contains comminuted plants selected from among knot grass, C.sub.4 plants and plants of the cannabis and Dicksonia genuses, and is suited as a peat substitute.
