Are microalgae a possible energy source for a sustainable world?

Kava V., Vargas J.V.C., Mariano A.B., Ordonez J.C., Federal University of Parana, BR

In recent years, much scientific research has been directed to the search for viable alternatives to clean energy. Investments in research and development of renewable energy sources have been implemented, and the economic viability of [...]

The maximization of hydrogen rhythmic production in large scale photobioreactors from genetically modified microalgae biomass

Dias F.G., Vargas J.V.C., Kava V., Ordonez J.C., Balmant W., Mariano A.B., Federal University of Parana, BR

A transient mathematical model for managing microalgae derived hydrogen production as a source of renewable energy is developed for large scale compact photobioreactors (PBR). The model allows for the determination of microalgae and hydrogen mass [...]
