Eukaryotic algae and cyanobacteria can transform CO2 into organic carbon, using light as the sole energy source. Also referred to as microalgae, their production has gained a lot of attention in recent years. As stated by the European Commission, there is a general interest to unlock algae potential increasing sustainable production, safe consumption and innovative use of biomass.
What is our goal?
Our motivation is to investigate what are the effects of using hydrogen as a supplementary source of energy to boost the phototrophic growth of biomass. Microalgae growth is usually limited by light, by adding alternative electron donors we aim to achieve higher productivities and decrease light-dependency.
You will be helping on the continuous production of different microalgal species.
