The most interesting thing I've seen in this area is from GreenFuel tech. This starup's business model is to build algae plants next to coal fired plants, and pump the co2 from the plant into the bioreactor, inreasing the algae yield.

See the performance summary report under Press for some detail.

There isn't anything extremely technical about the whole process. You pump exhaust into a greenhouse filled with algae, harvest the algae and basically press the lipids out and turn them into biedeisel through some simple reactions.
