Book Description:
Owing to their vast diversity and high growth rate, microalgae offer numerous advantages as the most promising photosynthetic organisms for biofuel production and CO2 bio-sequestration. Two different processes have been proposed for these purposes: microalgal farming and ocean fertilization. This book focuses primarily on the former while providing a brief introduction to the latter.
