Microalgae apps. Energy and industriy; agriculture and livestock production
In the industrial and agricultural sectors, the use of microalgae, in addition to the production of molecules of economic interest, has a potential widespread in all those “process” applications where they are put to work in treating waste.
Main topics
- Algae for CO2 capture
- Industrial wastewater treatment applications
- Urban water purification applications
- Zootechnical wastewater treatment applications
- Algal biofuels
- Advanced applications of biosynthesis
