To combat these adverse environmental consequences, efforts should be made to mitigate climate change through carbon sequestration following a natural and sustainable approach. In this context, microalgae play an important role in carbon sequestration and climate change mitigation. They have higher carbon capture potential by converting the atmospheric CO₂ into biomass through photosynthesis. Further, algal biomass could be used for the production of biofuels, biochar, and other value-added products, offering green alternatives. This study presents an analytical framework by linking biological CO₂ fixation mechanisms with downstream valorization pathways and techno-economic evaluations.
