Microalgae for Carbon Capture and Circular Bioeconomy

Integrate microalgae systems for carbon capture and circular bioeconomy Reducing industrial carbon emissions while closing resource loops demands scalable biological solutions grounded in rigorous science. Microalgae for Carbon Capture and Circular Bioeconomy connects theory with applied practice, providing an integrated treatment of microalgal systems for CO₂ fixation, nutrient recovery, and waste valorization. This volume delivers actionable frameworks for deploying microalgae-based processes across industrial and environmental contexts. Coverage includes flue gas utilization pathways, heterotrophic and autotrophic cultivation methodologies, and photobioreactor design for optimized carbon capture. The book examines carbon credit monetization strategies, wastewater-microalgae treatment synergies, and integration within zero-discharge industrial systems. Case studies illustrate successful deployment in power plants and industrial operations, while dedicated chapters address economic and policy frameworks supporting microalgae-based solutions. Readers will also find: Alignment with United Nations Sustainable Development Goals including SDG 6, SDG 12, and SDG 13 for climate action frameworks Scalable solutions for simultaneous carbon dioxide fixation and resource recovery applicable across diverse industrial sectors and facility sizes Analysis of emerging trends and scaling challenges that shape the future trajectory of microalgae-based carbon capture technologies Co-cultivation techniques and advanced bioprocess optimization strategies for maximizing biomass productivity and CO₂ sequestration efficiency Detailed economic assessments linking microalgal biorefinery outputs to circular bioeconomy value chains and commercial viability pathways Designed for researchers in…
