Abstract
It is shown that three vitally important problems of mankind, namely, reduction of the amount of greenhouse gases in the atmosphere, abatement of pollution of the atmosphere and surface waters, and, finally, replacement of fossil fuels by renewable sources of energy can be solved by developing commercial-scale cultivation of algae. The technological problems that must be solved to develop and construct industrial complexes for cultivating algae with utilizing emissions from fuel-using and power-generating facilities are discussed.
