Biofuels are increasing public acceptability and scientific attention as a consequence of factors such as rising oil prices, the need for increased energy security, and concerns about fossil fuel emissions of greenhouse gases (GHGs). The biomass used to make biofuels and bioproducts should come from a sustainable source and meet established sustainability standards for biodiversity, carbon stock, peatland, and land use change. Microalgae can be a valuable source of carbon compounds for biofuels, health supplements, medicines, and cosmetics. They can also be used to clean wastewater and reduce CO2 levels in the atmosphere. Polysaccharides, lipids, pigments, proteins, vitamins, bioactive compounds, and antioxidants are only a few of the bioproducts produced by microalgae.
