Carbon capture and storage (CCS) technologies are vital tools in the global effort to mitigate climate change, primarily by reducing greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions from industrial and energy sectors. While conventional CCS methods may achieve net-zero emissions, integrating microalgae biological systems offers a viable pathway to achieve net-negative emissions. Microalgae-based bioenergy with carbon capture, utilization, and storage (BECCUS) leverages photosynthetic CO₂ fixation to produce biomass that can be converted into biofuels and other value-added products. This comprehensive review provides an overview of current microalgae bioenergy conversion in thermochemical and biochemical technologies, and their integration with BECCUS framework within a circular bioeconomy context.
