Algae-based anaerobic digestion
Algae-based anaerobic digestion is a process where algae, a type of simple aquatic plant, is broken down by microorganisms in an oxygen-free environment. This process converts algae biomass into biogas—primarily methane—that can be used for energy, and produces nutrient-rich digestate that can be used as fertilizer. It's a sustainable way to transform algae into renewable energy while recycling nutrients. This approach leverages algae’s fast growth and ability to absorb CO2, making it an eco-friendly option for renewable energy production and waste management.
