Potential of Bioenergy Production from Microalgae

Evaluation of Biomass Production and Wastewater Nutrient Removal Using Microalgae: Sustainable Strategy to CO2 Bio-Fixation and Bioenergy Production Approach

Nowadays, the replacement of renewable energies such as biofuels is one of the main priorities in environmental programming and investments. This study is based on sustainable strategy towards integrating algal biomass generation as a green feedstock with wastewater treatment, CO2 bio-fixation, and bioenergy production. Therefore, the performance of Trichormus variabilis in ...

Potential Production of Biofuel from Microalgae Biomass Produced in Wastewater

Microalgae for Bioenergy: Key Technology Nodes

Microalgae have increasingly gained research interest as a source of lipids for biodiesel production. The wet way processing of harvested microalgae was suggested and evaluated with respect to the possible environmental impacts and production costs. This study is focused on the three key steps of the suggested process: flocculation, water recycling, and extraction of lipids. Microalgae strains ...

The Possibilities of Bioenergy Production from Whey

The wastes and the by-products of food industrial technologies are suitable for bioenergy generating because of the high organic matter content. Anaerobic digestion is the eldest technology for waste stabilization and however by controlled decomposition a high value and marketable energy source can be produced. Whey is normally used as a component of dairy products or as an additive for food pr...

Integration of Microalgae-Based Bioenergy Production into a Petrochemical Complex: Techno-Economic Assessment

The rapid development of modern society has resulted in an increased demand for energy, mainly from fossil fuels. The use of this source of energy has led to the accumulation of carbon dioxide (CO2) in the atmosphere. In this context, microalgae culturing may be an effective solution to reduce the CO2 concentration in the atmosphere, since these microorganisms can capture CO2 and, simultaneousl...
