MICROALGAE
MICROALGAE ARE UNICELLULAR
MICROORGANISMS
LIVING IN SALINE OR FRESH WATER
CONVERTING SUNLIGHT, WATER, AND CO2 IN ORGANIC MATTER (BIOMASS)
MICROALGAE
Are the most effective organisms
in the production of biomass
2. Resulting in exponential
reproduction rates
3. A well designed production system has the
potential to produce immense amounts of biomass
4. Reproduction is cellular
(myosis or mitosis)
5. Capture more co2 than
any other living organism
This biomass can be used as raw material
in different industries
