Cultivation of algae biomass is a promising way to produce animal feeds and biofuels with a lower carbon footprint. Nevertheless, challenges remain before algal products can be commercialized. The high cost of algae cultivation is the primary impediment, and the present study addressed some of the major factors in this cost including: the efficiency of algal utilization of supplemental inorganic carbon such as carbon dioxide from flue gases; algal productivity; the energy use and effectiveness of pond mixing; and biomass harvesting and processing. This dissertation addresses these issues with (1) a literature review of algal carbon utilization, (2) a pilot-scale productivity and culture stability comparison of ten filamentous algal cultures...
