Thermochemical conversion of algae biomass captured CO2 to liquid fuels

Carbon sequestration, capturing, and storing carbon emitted from the global energy system is a major tool for reducing atmospheric CO2 concentration. Of the various emerging technologies, algae has been shown to have a higher efficiency of CO2 uptake. One ton of algae biomass could absorb nearly 1.8 tons of CO2 a day. Industrial flue gases could be used as a feedstock for algae cultivation. The biomass produced can be converted to liquid fuels using thermochemical conversion technology.
