algal biomass

Algal biomass refers to the total mass of algae—simple, plant-like organisms found in water. Algae grow quickly through photosynthesis, using sunlight, carbon dioxide, and nutrients. This biomass can be harvested for various uses, including biofuels, animal feed, and fertilizers, as it is rich in proteins and other beneficial compounds. Its rapid growth and ability to thrive in diverse environments make algal biomass an attractive option for sustainable resource production, helping to address energy needs and environmental challenges like carbon emissions and nutrient pollution.
