COMPACT MANNER OF GROWING MICROALGAE SUITABLE FOR CARBON SEQUESTRATION AND CREATING A CIRCULAR ECONOMY

Resumen de: US2025340806A1

There are closed systems of growing microalgae but as they are not able to produce algal biomass economically they are very few and far between and are only used to grow microalgae for very expensive produce.
