Microalgae have great, yet relatively untapped potential as a highly productive crop for the production of animal and aquaculture feed, biofuels, and nutraceutical products. Compared to conventional terrestrial crops they have a very fast growth rate and can be produced on non-arable land. During microalgae cultivation, carbon dioxide (CO2) is supplied as the carbon source for photosynthesising microalgae. There are a number of potential CO2 supplies including air, flue gas and purified CO2. In addition, several strategies have been applied to the delivery of CO2 to microalgae production systems, including directly bubbling CO2-rich gas, microbubbles, porous membrane spargers and non-porous membrane contactors. This article provides a comparative analysis of the different CO2 supply and delivery strategies and how they relate to each other.
