Abstract

The cultivation of microalgae for carbon capture and utilization (CCU) emerged as sustainable and effective platform to reduce GHG_S and produce valuable biomass. In the study, systematic comparison of two identical algal photo-bioreactors (PBRw and PBRp), with white and purple led lights respectively, has been implemented. Carbon removals up to 98% has been obtained, with PBRp supporting enhanced cultivation conditions, higher CO₂ removals and increased biomass production (up to 855 mg d⁻¹ of dry algal biomass). The results demonstrate the potential of the proposed solutions as sustainable strategy to increase the applicability of algal photo-bioreactors for carbon capture and utilization.
