CO2 Capture by Microalgae: From Laboratory Research to Pilot Projects
https://doi.org/10.18412/1816-0395-2025-11-36-41
Abstract
Based on the conditions and results of laboratory experiments on the cultivation of microalgae (MA) and cyanobacteria in flue gas atmospheres, criteria were justified for assessing the climatic suitability of pilot project sites for scaling up СО2 capture technologies. The procedure for adapting microalgal strains to growth under high СО2 concentrations and flue gas exposure was described, along with the productivity of these strains under lab conditions. It was concluded that to reduce energy costs during microalgae cultivation in Russian climatic conditions, the optimal solution is to use the infrastructure of greenhouse complexes with a six-month active production cycle.
