Using Microalgae for Sustainable, Zero-Waste Production in a Circular Green Economy

AI simplified

Abstract

Microalgae can produce a variety of valuable products, including pigments, vitamins, and lipids, contributing to a zero-waste approach in biorefineries.

  • Microalgae can upcycle wastewater and capture greenhouse gases.
  • A range of products derived from microalgal biomass supports their biorefinery potential.
  • Techno-economic and environmental analyses evaluate the sustainability of microalgal production systems.
  • Challenges remain in developing cost-effective techniques and integrating microalgal biorefineries with other processes.
