Abstract

The objective of this chapter is to provide an overview of aspects related to the capture and use of carbon dioxide by microalgae in photobioreactors. The chapter presents a broad approach to the processes of biological carbon capture and use against the morphological and structural peculiarities of microalgae. In addition, the major culture systems were discussed emphasizing the carbon dioxide bioconversion. Also, environmental and bioeconomic performance was highlighted in order to show potential ...
