The industrial ecology of freshwater macroalgae for biomass applications

Abstract
Industrial ecology is focused on recognising the inherent value in waste streams and developing techniques that can efficiently recover this value. Freshwater macroalgae can become a foundation of this concept as they can be cultured in a range of waste streams where they can effectively remove excess nutrients, metals and metalloids, providing both a bioremediation service and a biomass resource. The cultured algal biomass can then be used as a product in animal feeds, biochar, biosorbents or as a feedstock biomass for the production of bioenergy. Freshwater macroalgae provide a unique opportunity to transform a range of industries through the utilisation of wastewater to produce biomass that can be converted into valuable bioproducts. © 2016.
