Wang et al. (2024): Microalgae create a highway for carbon sequestration in livestock wastewater: Carbon sequestration capacity, sequestration mechanisms, influencing factors, and prospects
Han Wang, Jiahua Liu, Khinkhin Phyu, Yu’ang Cao, Xiaoyu Xu, Junfeng Liang, Chein-Chi Chang, Keqiang Zhang, Suli Zhi IN: Science of The Total Environment, https://doi.org/10.1016/j.scitotenv.2024.177282
This review discusses the sequestration capacity, technical classification, mechanisms, and factors influencing carbon sequestration by microalgae (MCS) in livestock wastewater. First, the carbon emission characteristics of livestock farm are discussed, concluding that, compared with those from enteric fermentation, emissions from waste management are characterized by dispersed emission points, lack of obvious emission patterns, and difficulties in gas collection. Secondly, the use and potential of MCS in livestock wastewater are summarized, with emphasis on the mechanisms involved (both heterotrophic and autotrophic MCS).
