Overview

This book explores the multifaceted role of algae in addressing sustainable development, circular economy practices, and climate change mitigation issues. The integration of flue gas for algal biofuel production and its contribution to sustainable energy solutions is included along with role of algae-based biofertilizers in reduction of carbon footprints. Other topics discussed include algae for biomass production and carbon sequestration, algae-based carbon credits, production of bioplastics for climate-resilient packaging and their integration into waste management. Key features Covers algal biorefineries in circular economy and climate change mitigation Discusses the role of biogas and microplastics Provides insights into waste management strategies Reviews the role of biorefineries in the achievement of Net Zero Emission targets Explains government incentives, regulations, and the economic feasibility of implementing pertinent technologies This book is aimed at graduate students and researchers in biotechnology, environmental sciences and climate change.
