Potential of novel desert microalgae and cyanobacteria for commercial applications and CO2 sequestration
(
Springer Netherlands
, 2019 , Article)
CO2 fixation by phototrophic microalgae and cyanobacteria is seen as a possible global carbon emissions reducer; however, novel microalgae and cyanobacterial strains with tolerance to elevated temperatures and CO2 ...
Evaluation of native microalgae from Tunisia using the pulse-amplitude-modulation measurement of chlorophyll fluorescence and a performance study in semi-continuous mode for biofuel production
(
BioMed Central Ltd.
, 2019 , Article)
Background: Microalgae are attracting much attention as a promising feedstock for renewable energy production, while simultaneously providing environmental benefits. So far, comparison studies for microalgae selection for ...
Use of co-solvents in hydrothermal liquefaction (HTL) of microalgae
(
MDPI AG
, 2019 , Article)
This study reviewed and summarized the literature regarding the use of alcohols during hydrothermal liquefaction (HTL) of algal biomass feedstocks. The use of both pure alcohols and alcohol-water co-solvents were considered. ...
Techno-economics of algae production in the Arabian Peninsula
(
Elsevier
, 2021 , Article)
The Arabian Peninsula's advantageous climate, availability of non-arable land, access to seawater and CO2-rich flue gas, make it an attractive location for microalgae biomass production. Despite these promising aspects, ...

(
Hamad bin Khalifa University Press (HBKU Press)
, 2016 , Conference Paper)
Algae-derived products, in particular biodiesel, have received increased interest over recent years due to their advantages over fossil fuel derived products. The ability of algae to grow in different qualities of water, ...
Determination of Optimum Iron Requirement for Production of Microalgae Biomass as Biofuel Feedstock
(
Hamad bin Khalifa University Press (HBKU Press)
, 2016 , Conference Paper)
Microalgae biomass is considered as one of the promising alternative feedstock for biofuel production. The biomass productivity of some of the microalgae can exceed an order of magnitude compared to any other terrestrial ...
Solar cultivation of microalgae in a desert environment for the development of techno-functional feed ingredients for aquaculture in Qatar
(
Elsevier
, 2022 , Article)
The demand for aquaculture feed will increase in the coming years in order to ensure food security for a growing global population. Microalgae represent a potential fish-feed ingredient; however, the feasibility of their ...
Qatar University culture collection: A source of biodiversity and numerous applications
(
Hamad bin Khalifa University Press (HBKU Press)
, 2016 , Conference Paper)
Microalgae are photosynthetic microorganisms that can grow in different environments (sea water, fresh water, waste water soil, rocks….) and under various conditions (Light, pH, temperature, salinity….). During their phases ...
