Abstract:
Microalgal biomass has been proved to be a sustainable source for bio-oil, biodiesel, bioethanol, biomethane, and so on. One of the guaranteed advantages of coordinating the utilization of microalgal advancements in the business is microalgae's capacity to catch carbon dioxide during the application and biomass creation process and thus decreasing carbon dioxide discharges. In spite of the fact that microalgae are a plausible wellspring of biofuel, modern microalgae applications face energy and cost difficulties. To defeat these difficulties, analysts have been keen on applying the biotreatment facility way to deal with removing the significant parts exemplified in microalgae. Various studies found that reasonable microalgae species are chosen in view of their sugar, lipid, and protein contents, and choosing the appropriate species is essential for top-notch biofuel and esteem-added items creation. Microalgae species contain sugars, proteins, and lipids in the scope of 8% to 69.7%, 5% to 74%, and 7% to 65% separately which showed their capacity to be utilized as a wellspring of significant worth added wares in numerous enterprises including farming, animal cultivation, medication, culinary, and beauty care products. In addition, new emerging technologies such as algal interactions for enhancement of microalgae growth and lipid production are also explored. This chapter describes the advantages of microalgae for the production of biofuels and various bioactive compounds and discusses culturing parameters.
