This study evaluates biological carbon dioxide (CO2) fixation using microalgae, aiming for high CO2 capture rates. It assesses the system

Area of Science:

  • Environmental Science and Biotechnology
  • Microalgal Carbon Sequestration

Background:

  • Rising atmospheric carbon dioxide (CO2) necessitates innovative emission reduction strategies.
  • Biological CO2 fixation via microalgae offers a promising photosynthetic approach.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To assess the feasibility of microalgal CO2 fixation systems.
  • To analyze CO2 balance, energy balance, and economic viability (payback period).

Main Methods:

  • Cultivation of microalgae (e.g., Chlorella, Synechocystis sp.) for CO2 capture.
  • Evaluation of system's CO2 fixation rate against operational emissions.
  • Analysis of energy consumption versus photosynthetic energy output (glucose enthalpy).

Main Results:

  • Targeting a CO2 fixation rate of 50 g CO2/m2/day, significantly exceeding temperate forests.
  • Ensuring net CO2 reduction and energy efficiency within the system.
  • Assessing biomass utilization and initial investment recovery.

Conclusions:

  • Microalgal CO2 fixation presents a viable strategy for atmospheric CO2 reduction.
  • System's economic and energetic performance is critical for practical application.
  • Biomass valorization is key to the overall sustainability and profitability of the process.
