Photosynthetic Microorganism-Based CO2 Mitigation System: Integrated Approaches for Global Sustainability
TL;DR: In this paper, a detailed overview of photosynthetic microorganism-based CO2 mitigation system and explore the possibilities of combining different areas of algal technologies is presented, which can be used to capture CO2 from flue gasses and produce valuable biomass for various applications.
Journal ArticleDOI
Comparison of biodiesel production by conventional and superheated methanol vapor technologies using life cycle assessment method.
TL;DR: In this paper, a non-catalytic biodiesel production with the superheated methanol vapor (SMV) method was compared with the conventional alkali-calyzed production method in terms of its environmental performance using a life cycle assessment (LCA) tool.
