As global efforts to combat climate change intensify, microalgae stand out as an underutilised yet promising resource.
As global efforts to combat climate change intensify, microalgae stand out as an underutilised yet promising resource.
New research has highlighted microalgae’s capacity as a solution in the fight climate change, but researchers warn that “smart microalgal bioprospecting” is needed to unlock its full potential.
The study highlights the vast, largely unexplored capacity of microalgae to mitigate CO2 emissions while driving sustainable industry.
“Microalgae have remarkable properties that make them an ideal tool for tackling climate change,” said lead author, PhD candidate Joan Labara Tirado from the University of Technology Sydney (UTS).
