Perspectives on Microalgal CO2-Emission Mitigation Systems—A Review

Ho, Shih-Hsin, Chen, Chun-Yen, Lee, Duu-Jong, Chang, Jo-Shu·2011·Biotechnology Advances

Abstract

The problem of climate change arising mainly from CO₂ emission is currently a critical environmental issue. Biofixation using microalgae has recently become an attractive approach to CO₂ capture and recycling with additional benefits of downstream utilization and applications of the resulting microalgal biomass. This review summarizes the history and strategies of microalgal mitigation of CO₂ emissions, photobioreactor systems used to cultivate microalgae for CO₂ fixation, current microalgae harvesting methods, as well as applications of valuable by-products. It is of importance to select appropriate microalgal species to achieve an efficient and economically feasible CO₂-emission mitigation process. The desired microalgae species should have a high growth rate, high CO₂ fixation ability, low contamination risk, low operation cost, be easy to harvest and rich in valuable components in their biomass.

Statistics

Recomputing p-values needs the paper’s full text.

Claims the paper makes

This paper’s full text isn’t openly available, so its claims and self-check weren’t run. The registry and citation checks still apply.

Claims other papers make about this one

Each is checked against this paper’s own text: does it say what the citing paper says it does?

  • Only a few microalgae species tolerate high levels of SOx and NOx, so strain selection is important for the efficiency of CO2 fixation from exhaust gases.

    “It has been proven that only a few microalgae species tolerate high levels of SOx and NOx.Therefore, the selection of strains is important for the efficiency of CO2 fixation from exhaust gases [61,62].”

About these checks

Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.

Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.

Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
