Abstract

The primary motivation behind this study was to explore the energy potential of the residual defatted microalgae biomass by anaerobic co-digestion with rice straw (RS). Two defatted microalgae species Chlorella CG12 and Desmodesmus GS12 were co-digested with RS at C/N ratio of 30. A considerable cumulative biomethane yield of 382 mL/g-VS obtained in the co-digestion of CG12 + RS followed by GS12 + RS (311 mL/g-VS) shows 49.87% and 22.26% increment, respectively, as compared to the control. The sludge on the 40th day of the anaerobic digestion was reutilized to cultivate the fresh batch of microalgae. The microalgal growth was studied at a light intensity of 3000 Lux, 22 ± 2 °C and pH of 7–7.5. The maximum lipid content of 19% on a dry cell weight basis (dcw) was seen at 20% sludge concentration in GS12. Total microalgal biomass was found to be increased by 22% compared to the control, i.e., in BG-11 media. This combined use of microalgae with RS helped in enhanced energy recovery. It also provides a sustainable approach for the development of a microalgae-based biorefinery for the production of biodiesel and biogas as an energy fuel.
