Microalgae Cultivation Systems for Biodiesel Production: A review

Year: 2019

Type: article

Abstract: Microalgae represent a sustainable biofuel source because of their high biomass productivity and ability to sequestercarbon dioxide from the air and remove water born pollutants. This paper reviews metabolic pathways, the current status ofmicroalgae cultivation systems, including the advantages and disadvantages of both open and closed systems. The key barriers tocommercial cultivation of microalgae and the way forward is also discussed.
