This report provides an independent assessment of the applications and potential contributions to greenhouse gas (GHG) abatement of microalgae biofixation processes. It is intended as a strategic tool for R&D personnel and managers, policy makers, and others who need to broadly evaluate the various technology options for GHG abatement, as well as related environmental and sustainability issues. This assessment, carried out on both regional and global scale, is based on technology plausibly available in the near- to mid-term (2010 to 2020) for practical applications of microalgae to biofuels production. The most plausible immediate applications are in conjunction with advanced wastewater treatment processes, for removal and recovery of nitrogen and phosphorous, thus allowing the re-use of the plant nurtients in agriculture.
