ALGAE
CULTIVATION
CO2 is being used to accelerate the growth of microalgae. Microalgae culture, which has been active recently, can absorb carbon dioxide much faster than any other biomass source.

CO2 consumption
-
Microalgae are photoautotrophic organisms that use carbon dioxide as a carbon source and then convert it into sugars through photosynthesis.
-
Microalgae produce all kinds of substances we need, using a little sunlight, CO2 and some nutrients to create important products.
-
Microalgae have tremendous potential to utilize large amounts of carbon dioxide.
-
Algae-based CO2 mitigation strategy has the potential to obtain valuable products at the end of the process.
​​
-
Algae-based carbon dioxide (CO2) sequestration has received more attention due to its ability to utilize CO2 as a carbon source, higher photosynthetic efficiency, high CO2 fixation capacity and optimal culture conditions, and higher growth rates than conventional crops and biomass produced.
Promising solution
-
Algae have great potential to reduce carbon dioxide in the atmosphere as a whole.
-
Methods of storing carbon dioxide have the potential for spillage, but microalgae can be used for other purposes as the remains of organisms while preventing their return to carbon dioxide.
-
Growing microalgae is cheap.
