Abstract
Searching for alternative sources of biomass as a raw material for bioenergy is currently an urgent fundamental and applied scientific problem. Microalgae, due to the peculiarities of their physiology, high productivity, and the potential to consume carbon dioxide from the atmosphere, are one of the examples of such sources. The article presents the results of long-term research conducted at the Moscow State University’s Laboratory of Renewable Energy Sources on developing a technology for large-scale cultivation of microalgae, methods for increasing their productivity in terms of biomass and target products (lipids and carbohydrates), and obtaining various types of biofuels from biomass (biodiesel, bio-oil, synthesis gas, methane, etc.). The possibility of associated wastewater treatment, CO2 utilization, and obtaining of valuable by-products in the industrial cultivation of microalgae is shown.
