CULTIVATION OF MICROALGAE FOR BIO OIL PRODUCTION AND CARBON DIOXIDE REMOVAL

The use of fossil fuel is now widely accepted as unsustainable due to depleting resource and the accumulation of greenhouse gases in the environment that have already exceeded the dangerously high threshold of 450ppm COre. To achieve environmental and economic sustainability, fuel production proc...
