Optimisation of Scenedesmus almeriensis production using pig slurry as the sole nutrient source

Martina Ciardi et al.

Summary: The study demonstrates that pig slurry can be used as an effective nutrient source for biomass production of Scenedesmus almeriensis, with a biomass productivity rate comparable to standard growth medium. Different dilutions of pig slurry did not significantly affect microalgal growth, while ozonation was effective in reducing the chemical oxygen demand concentration of the media.

Current Status of the Algae Production Industry in Europe: An Emerging Sector of the Blue Bioeconomy

Rita Araujo et al.

Summary: The EU Bioeconomy Strategy is aimed at supporting the sustainable growth of EU bio-based sectors, including algae production. This study reveals significant gaps in knowledge about algae production in Europe, but also highlights the potential of the sector. Algae and Spirulina biomass is primarily used for food and food-related applications, with technological, regulatory, and market barriers limiting further development despite the considerable potential for sustainable growth in the European algae sector.

Year-long evaluation of microalgae production in wastewater using pilot-scale raceway photobioreactors: Assessment of biomass productivity and nutrient recovery capacity

Ainoa Morillas-Espana et al.

Summary: The study demonstrated the potential of using pilot-scale raceway photobioreactors to produce Scenedesmus sp. from wastewater with high levels of nutrients. Validation of the ABACO model showed robust and accurate prediction of biomass productivity throughout the year under different seasonal and temperature conditions in outdoor open raceways.
