There has been an urgent need to tackle global climate change and replace conventional fuels with alternatives from sustainable sources. This has led to the emergence of bioenergy sources like biofuels and biohydrogen extracted from microalgae biomass. Microalgae takes up carbon dioxide and absorbs sunlight, as part of its photosynthesis process, for growth and producing useful compounds for renewable energy. While, the developments in artificial photosynthesis to a chemical process that biomimics the natural photosynthesis process to fix CO in the air. However, the artificial photosynthesis technology is still being investigated for its implementation in large scale production. Microalgae photosynthesis can provide the same advantages as artificial photosynthesis, along with the prospect of having final microalgae products suitable for various application. There are significant potential to adapt either microalgae photosynthesis or artificial photosynthesis to reduce the CO in the climate and contribute to a cleaner and green cultivation method.
迫切需要应对全球气候变化,并用可持续来源的替代燃料取代传统燃料。这导致了生物能源的出现,如从微藻生物质中提取的生物燃料和生物氢。微藻在其光合作用过程中吸收二氧化碳并吸收阳光,用于生长并产生可再生能源的有用化合物。同时,人工光合作用发展成为一种模仿自然光合作用过程以固定空气中二氧化碳的化学过程。然而,人工光合作用技术仍在研究其大规模生产的应用。微藻光合作用可以提供与人工光合作用相同的优势,以及最终微藻产品适用于各种应用的前景。利用微藻光合作用或人工光合作用来减少气候中的二氧化碳并促成更清洁和绿色的种植方法具有巨大潜力。
