algae cultivation

Algae cultivation involves growing microscopic aquatic plants called algae in controlled environments, such as ponds or tanks. These organisms use sunlight, carbon dioxide, and nutrients to grow rapidly. Algae can produce valuable products like biofuels, nutritional supplements, and animal feed. The process requires managing water quality, light, temperature, and nutrients to maximize growth and ensure sustainability. Algae farming is considered environmentally friendly because it can utilize non-arable land and wastewater, and it absorbs CO₂, helping reduce greenhouse gases. This scalable method offers a promising renewable resource for various industries.
