Microalgae are a particularly interesting potential source for novel sources of bioproducts, from specialty foods to biofuels and feeds, because they do not compete with agriculture for resources. Covering recent academic and industrial developments, this book outlines the field from a variety of perspectives contributed by experts and practitioners. It reviews the latest technologies in algal biomass production and explores novel uses for biomass products, addressing key issues such as market and supply chain analysis, research and development, business strategies, legal issues, and future prospects in algae biomass production.…mehr
