Increasing world population, industrialization, and economic development demand more
energy at a global scale, and this challenge is being met with the exploitation of fossil fuels …

Since the 1950s, research has been undertaken to promote algal oil as a sustainable
alternative to fossil fuels. This paper statistically analyzed 317 studies of algal bioreactors to …

The freshwater green algae, Scenedesmus obtusus, was cultivated in a 3.4 L airlift
photobioreactor. The hydrodynamic parameters were estimated at different inlet gas flow …

CO2 remediation is an urgent and challenging task to mitigate global climate change.
Microalgae efficiently convert CO2 into biomass, offering potential for the development of …

Biofuels from micro-organisms represents a possible response to the carbon dioxide
mitigation. One open problem is to improve their productivity, in terms of biofuels production …

The ability of microalgae to utilize CO 2 during photosynthesis and grow rapidly shows their
potential in CO 2 bio-fixation to capture and store the gas. However, CO 2 capture by this …

Massive use of fuels by industry increase carbon dioxide (CO< sub> 2) emissions
significantly. Chlorella vulgaris (C. vulgaris) is well known for its ability to fixate CO< sub> 2 …

Nowadays, the societies' awareness is continuously growing in relation to the need to
change the actual trends in exploiting natural resources, and in a more general framework …

Biofuels from 3rd-generation feed-stocks like microalgae and cyanobacteria are considered
possible replacements for fossil fuels and a means to reduce emissions of the greenhouse …

Lo scopo di questa Tesi è quello di suggerire un nuovo approccio alla Sostenibilità, basato
sull'analisi exergetica, proponendo un nuovo strumento per cambiare gradualmente gli …
