Abstract

The present age has seen technological development at a large scale and has imposed tremendous pressure on the natural resources. The usage of fossil fuel has resulted in the release of greenhouse gases, thereby promoting global warming and increased environmental concern among the researchers. Therefore, the quest to find “clean energy” has become the chief concern of the environmentalist. In order to address the issue, third-generation biofuel involving microalgae has been regarded as one of the most effective biological sources as it only requires sunlight, carbon dioxide, and nutrition for its growth. The biofuel derived from the living organism has numerous advantages as it effectively decreases the concentration of emitted greenhouse gases. The microalgae have numerous applications and can be effectively used in biofuels, cosmetics, and pharmaceuticals and as human and animal nutritional sources. Thus, the present chapter would focus on microalgae production processes, advantages and disadvantages of natural and artificial cultivation system, various harvesting techniques followed by its application in various sectors, and lastly the limitations and its future prospects.
