Enhanced CO2 fixation and biofuel production via microalgae: recent developments and future directions (original) (raw)

2010, Trends in Biotechnology

AI-generated Abstract

An increase in atmospheric CO2 from fossil fuel combustion presents a significant challenge to sustainability. Conventional CO2 removal approaches face various limitations, leading to an increasing interest in enhanced biological fixation via microalgae. Microalgae efficiently convert CO2 into biomass, which can then be transformed into biofuels such as biodiesel and methane, presenting a sustainable option for carbon management. The integration of microalgae into existing wastewater and power generation infrastructures shows promise for continued biofuel production and CO2 mitigation.
