The primary focus of the topic is on the production of energy. Here, energy production typically refers to the conversion of waste algal biomass into various forms of usable energy. This could include electricity, biofuels (e.g., biodiesel, bioethanol), biogas, or other forms of renewable energy. Conversion of algal biomass to fuels via extraction of lipids (and potentially other components), through ‘algal lipid upgrading’ or ALU pathway, combined algal process (CAP) and parallel algal process (PAP). ALU approach based on a biochemical processing strategy to selectively recover and convert select algal biomass components to fuels, namely carbohydrates to ethanol and lipids to a renewable diesel blendstock (RDB) product. The scope of the topic encompasses the various methods and technologies used to convert waste algal biomass into energy. This could involve processes like anaerobic digestion, fermentation, pyrolysis, hydrothermal liquefaction, or other innovative techniques. The topic may touch upon ongoing research, technological advancements, and potential areas of improvement related to waste algal biomass-based energy production.

One of the biggest global challenges of the twentieth century is to sustainably supply a growing world population with food, raw materials, and energy in times of climate change. In doing so, biomass plays an important role, as the plants, with the help of sunlight and carbon dioxide from the atmosphere, can produce all these components sustainably and without consuming fossil energy sources. This photosynthesis-based capacity of plants, hence, is the cornerstone of the current bioeconomy concept. However, there are clear limits: The available and even decreasing agricultural area and the yield per unit area that can hardly be increased any further.
