Microalgae and One Health: Fundamentals, Biocompounds, and Health and Environmental Applications: Chapter 36 - Microalgae-based processes in the greenhouse gas control

The globalized world already faces numerous climate challenges. Emissions of greenhouse gases (GHG), such as CO2, from human activities are the main highlight in the attempt to find culprits for global warming. Their emissions are already reaching alarming levels, and if they are not reduced or controlled as quickly as possible, the planet will be in danger. In light of this premise, microalgae play an important role in controlling and mitigating these gases. This chapter discusses the biological capture of GHGs by microalgae to control these emissions and achieve a more sustainable planet. Future perspectives and conclusions of this biological process are also briefly presented.
