These provide a background to the state-of-the-art technologies for algal cultivation, CO2 sequestration, and large-scale application of these systems. In order to tap the commercial potential of algae, a biorefinery concept has been proposed that could help to extract maximum benefits from algal biomass. This refinery concept promotes the harvesting of multiple products from the feedstock so as to make the process economically attractive. For the last few decades, algal biomass has been explored for use in various products such as fuel, agricultural crops, pigments and pharmaceuticals, as well as in bioremediation. To meet the huge demand, there has been a focus on large-scale production of algal biomass in closed or open photobioreactors. Different nutritional conditions for algal growth have been explored, such as photoautotrophic, heterotrophic, mixotrophic and oleaginous. This book is aimed at a wide audience, including undergraduates, postgraduates, academics, energy researchers, scientists in industry, energy specialists, policy makers and others who wish to understand algal biorefineries and also keep abreast of the latest developments. 606 $aEnvironmental management 606 $aRenewable energy resources 606 $aBiotechnology 606 $aBotanical chemistry 606 $aMarine sciences 606 $aFresh water 606 $aEnvironmental Management$3https://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/U17009 606 $aRenewable and Green Energy$3https://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/111000 606 $aBiotechnology$3https://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/C12002 606 $aPlant Biochemistry$3https://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/L14021 606 $aMarine & Freshwater Sciences$3https://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/U36000 615 0$aEnvironmental management. 615 0$aRenewable energy resources. 615 0$aBiotechnology. 615 0$aBotanical chemistry. 615 0$aMarine sciences. 615 0$aFresh water. 615 14$aEnvironmental Management. 615 24$aRenewable and Green Energy. 615 24$aBiotechnology. 615 24$aPlant Biochemistry. 615 24$aMarine & Freshwater Sciences. 676 $a333.7 702 $aDas$b Debabrata$4edt$4http://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/edt 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910299422703321 996 $aAlgal Biorefinery: An Integrated Approach$92535132 997 $aUNINA
