Biocombustíveis, Bioenergia, Microalgas, Energia sustentável, Energia de baixo carbonoResumo
Devido à alta demanda energética mundial e os problemas ambientais derivados da queima de combustíveis fósseis, a sociedade atual lança-se na busca por novas fontes de energia mais sustentáveis, com destaque para a biomassa, merecendo especial atenção as microalgas. Além de fornecer metabólitos essenciais para a produção de biocombustíveis, as microalgas podem ser cultivadas em painéis fotovoltaicos, obtendo energia solar através da fotossíntese. Apesar do grande número de pesquisas, a obtenção de biocombustíveis de microalgas ainda esbarra em algumas limitações. O presente estudo busca avaliar a viabilidade técnica e econômica do uso de microalgas como matéria prima para obtenção de energia, além de apresentar alternativas para superar as limitações do processo.
