Increasingly, there is a realization that utilization of the fossilized carbon sources has adverse environmental consequences in the form of increasing concentration of greenhouse gases. We are also becoming aware of the limited nature of these resources. As a result, considerable efforts are being made to produce chemicals and fuels from renewable resources such as forest products, agricultural residues and plant products. All of these systems capture solar energy and atmospheric carbon dioxide as a part of the natural carbon cycle. Serious research efforts are also underway, targeting cultivation of photosynthetic autotrophic microbes for the production of biomass and lipids. In this category, algae appears to offer the most potential for capturing solar energy and atmospheric carbon dioxide and delivering sufficient quantities of biomass/lipids that can offset the fossilized carbon utilization in a meaningful manner without impacting food output adversely. However, several advances, both technologically as well as politically, are needed before we can realize its full potential. It is also clear that a biorefinery approach must be undertaken in order to harvest renewable energy and chemicals from algae economically. This edited, multi-authored volume on Algal Biorefineries will document new advances involving algae-based technology. 606 $aMedicine 606 $aBiotechnology 606 $aMicrobiology 606 $aRenewable energy resources 606 $aEngineering design 606 $aBotanical chemistry 606 $aBiomedicine, general$3https://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/B0000X 606 $aBiotechnology$3https://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/C12002 606 $aApplied Microbiology$3https://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/C12010 606 $aRenewable and Green Energy$3https://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/111000 606 $aEngineering Design$3https://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/T17020 606 $aPlant Biochemistry$3https://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/L14021 615 0$aMedicine. 615 0$aBiotechnology. 615 0$aMicrobiology. 615 0$aRenewable energy resources. 615 0$aEngineering design. 615 0$aBotanical chemistry. 615 14$aBiomedicine, general. 615 24$aBiotechnology. 615 24$aApplied Microbiology. 615 24$aRenewable and Green Energy. 615 24$aEngineering Design. 615 24$aPlant Biochemistry. 676 $a572.572 702 $aBajpai$b Rakesh K.$4edt$4http://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/edt 702 $aProkop$b Ales?$4edt$4http://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/edt 702 $aZappi$b Mark E.$4edt$4http://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/edt 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910298323203321 996 $aAlgal Biorefineries$92498396 997 $aUNINA
