Bioreactors are used in the production of biofuels, such as bioethanol and biodiesel, from renewable feedstocks. Microorganisms like yeast and bacteria are grown in bioreactors to ferment sugars into ...

LNER has teamed up with technology startup, Algacraft, on the pilot project. An initial five-month trial tested the feasibility of using microalgae bioreactors to capture carbon around train stations.

Mewery, a startup focused on the development of cultivated meat using a co-cultivation process involving animal cells and ...

Nov 24, 2020 3-D printed corals, new bioreactors to boost microalgae production for biofuels (Nanowerk News) Using light as an energy source, photosynthetic microalgae can be used to produce products ...

Unfortunately, more tightly-controlled production processes using photo-bioreactors were also not viable at that time, particularly when it came to their light source. 9 While microalgae biofuels ...

These photo-bioreactors are designed to grow not soybeans, but plant microorganisms. In tubes of different shapes and sizes, fluids rich with micro-algae are stirred carefully, and exposed to ...

Microalgae don’t directly produce biofuel – they produce lipids (fats). To make biofuel these fats must be converted through a process known as transesterification.

Microalgae – not to be confused with macroalgae (seaweeds) – are massively abundant in our seas, freshwater lakes and rivers. These tiny organisms are important “ primary producers ” on ...

Why we need to expand the search for climate-friendly microalgae As global efforts to combat climate change intensify, microalgae stand out as an underutilised yet promising resource. Date ...
