Integrate microalgae systems for carbon capture and circular bioeconomy Reducing industrial carbon emissions while closing resource loops demands scalable biological solutions grounded in rigorous science. Microalgae for Carbon Capture and Circular Bioeconomy connects theory with applied practice, providing an integrated treatment of microalgal systems for CO2 fixation, nutrient recovery, and waste valorization. This volume delivers actionable frameworks for deploying microalgae-based processes across industrial and environmental contexts. Coverage includes flue gas utilization pathways, heterotrophic and autotrophic cultivation methodologies, and photobioreactor design for optimized carbon capture. The book examines carbon credit monetization strategies, wastewater-microalgae treatment synergies, and integration within zero-discharge industrial systems. Case studies illustrate successful deployment in power plants and industrial operations, while dedicated chapters address economic and policy frameworks supporting microalgae-based solutions. Readers will also find: Alignment with United Nations Sustainable Development Goals including SDG 6, SDG 12, and SDG 13 for climate action frameworksScalable solutions for simultaneous carbon dioxide fixation and resource recovery applicable across diverse industrial sectors and facility sizesAnalysis of emerging trends and scaling challenges that shape the future trajectory of microalgae-based carbon capture technologiesCo-cultivation techniques and advanced bioprocess optimization strategies for maximizing biomass productivity and CO2 sequestration efficiencyDetailed economic assessments linking microalgal biorefinery outputs to circular bioeconomy value chains and commercial viability pathways Designed for researchers in environmental engineering and biotechnology, industry professionals in power generation and wastewater treatment, sustainability consultants, policymakers implementing carbon capture strategies, and graduate students in environmental sciences and bioengineering, this volume provides the technical depth and applied insight needed to advance microalgae-based sustainability solutions.
