Microalgae Biomass Production for CO2 Mitigation and Biodiesel Production
Abstract
with biomass generation, which offers the co-benefit of producing biodiesel accompanied with removal of nitrogen, sulphur, phosphorus and organic carbon.To meet the growing demand of energy systems by the growing population and economy, the emerging bio fuel technology lays great emphasis towards the economic sustainability.Biodiesel production from microalgae has an imminent scope towards reducing vehicular CO 2 exhaust, sequestering atmospheric CO 2 , biological wastewater treatment technologies, reducing global warming through industrial flue gases-CO 2 mitigation etc.The utilization of open ponds and closed photo bioreactors for the mass cultivation of microalgae in pilot scale is suggested to enhance the efficiency of wastewater treatment and CO 2 sequestration on a large scale and biomass production.These microalgae biomass can also be used for bio-gasoline, bio hydrogen, bio-methane, bio-plastics etc.

Microalgae feedstock is competent and preferable to produce biofuels because microalgae do not require cultivable land and fresh water for cultivation.
“In several aspects, microalgae feedstock is competent and preferable to produce biofuels for examples microalgae don not require cultivable land and fresh water for cultivation, they are not edible therefore no effect on human and animal’s food chain, can be grown to serval folds irrespective to seasonal conditions, mitigation of atmospheric CO2 and treatment of waste water [18, 19].”
Microalgae can mitigate atmospheric CO2 and treat waste water.

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.
