Background Energy demands have been increasing in recent years with the growing global population. Bioenergy is considered a vital component of addressing these growing demands and minimizing greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions. Recent research on bioenergy has shown that algal biofuels have potential as a feedstock to counter the effects of food in comparison...

Two challenges facing the world today include the ongoing pollution of the environment with carbon dioxide and the increasing consumption of the world’s natural energy resources of fossil fuels. An elegant solution to these challenges would be to cultivate microorganisms such as algae that take and utilize carbon dioxide for their growth while...
