Abstract

Renewable sources of energy and chemicals are a viable solution in current situation where world is facing extreme energy crisis. Achieving carbon neutral options for energy supply and high productive options for bulk chemicals by renewable source. Microalgal Biomass is a promising option and has the potential to provide renewable energy and products for future grown in minimum inputs and gives higher output. In this review paper three cultivation techniques are discussed such as autotrophic, heterotrophic, and mixotrophic. Mixotrophic cultivation involves combination of both auto and heterotrophic modes where both light reaction and dark reaction are combined for maximum results. Cost effective options of bioenergy and valuable co products are efficiently produced from microalgae in mixotrophic cultivation conditions. Bioprospection of microalgal options for bioenergy and cultivating those strains in mixotrophic conditions combining with wastewater treatment and CO2 fixation from atmosphere to produce biofuel and valuable co products in the main theme of this review. Concept of biorefinery is prescribed for future options.
