Micro Algae under CO2 Supply

John Jacob

Abstract


Global warming is primarily caused by carbon dioxide (CO2), the most significant greenhouse gas produced by fossil fuel combustion. To decrease the nursery impact in supportable way the carbon dioxide sequestration is utilized. In the field of microalgae-based CO2 sequestration, numerous studies were conducted. Microalgae are quickly developing photosynthetic life forms, consumes supplement from the medium and carbon dioxide from the climate within the sight of daylight. The photosynthetic process is given importance for this reason because it produces useful byproducts like oxygen, hydrogen, and biomass. Certain strains of microalgae naturally absorb carbon dioxide. The photobioreactor was planned so that to develop miniature green growth under different exploratory circumstances. The trial is finished to track down the biomass creation with the outer stockpile of CO2.
