MICRO ALGAE
Microalgae comprise a vast group of photosynthetic, heterotrophic organisms
which have an extraordinary potential for cultivation as energy crops. They
can be cultivated under difficult agro-climatic conditions and are able to
produce a wide range of commercially interesting byproducts such as fats,
oils, sugars and functional bioactive compounds. As a group, they are of
particular interest in the development of future renewable energy scenarios.
Certain microalgae are effective in the production of hydrogen and oxygen
through the process of biophotolysis while others naturally manufacture
hydrocarbons which are suitable for direct use as high-energy liquid fuels.
