Abstract

The lightening of structures is a constant preoccupation of the mobility industries and particularly the automotive industry. For vehicles with thermal propulsion, this quest for lightening is justified by the need to reduce fossil fuel consumption, and consequently the emissions of CO2 and harmful particles. The increase in the amount of CO2 in the world has greatly disturbed the functioning of the earth. Important projects are being implemented worldwide to reduce the emissions of this gas, but no solution has yet been adopted and no strategy is currently recognized. To cope with this increase of CO2 in our environment, effective and reliable carbon sequestration technologies are urgently needed. Biological CO2 sequestration using algae is currently one of the most efficient and cost-effective of the various CO2 sequestration methods. Indeed, algae are widely exploitable as a CO2 storage medium and can be used to produce biofuels and many value-added products. In this study, we review the state of recent research on the use of microalgae in CO2 sequestration.
