Abstract
Prior research has emphasized the potential of microalgae in biodiesel production, driven by their ability to replace fossil fuels. However, the significant costs associated with microalgae cultivation present a major obstacle to scaling up production. This study aims to develop an eco-friendly microalgae cultivation system by integrating carbon dioxide from flue gas emissions with an affordable photobioreactor, providing a sustainable biomass production. The research evaluates the growth performance of Chlorella sorokiniana and Chlorella vulgaris across this integrated system for biomass and lipid production. Results indicate substantial biomass yields of 1.97 and 1.84 g/L, with lipid contents of 35 % and 41 % for C. sorokiniana and C. vulgaris, respectively. The macrobubble photobioreactor demonstrates high potential for microalgae biomass and lipid production, yielding quality fatty acid methyl esters such as palmitic, linoleic and stearic. This study presents an environmentally friendly system for efficient microalgae cultivation, generating lipid-rich biomass suitable for biodiesel production.
