Algal Biorefinery

Algal Biorefinery: A Sustainable Solution for Environmental Applications focuses on the possibilities, assets, and functions of algae as a renewable and sustainable resource that can act as an excellent alternative able to withstand adverse environmental conditions to generate useful products. Thus, apart from helping in reducing environmental pollution and carbon footprint, algae can help in mitigating factors causing rapid climate change via concurrent bioremediation, resource recovery, and achieving environmental sustainability. This comprehensive book examines dedicated, state-of-the-art information on the topic of how algae can act as a cushion against climate change. In addition, it explains how algal-based biorefineries can act as a potential solution to climate change, lack of natural resources, and environmental pollution.
