Sina Talebi, Anis Edalatpour, Omid Tavakoli
Abstract
An algal biorefinery solution is proposed to solve the challenges in the food–energy–water–environment nexus. The integration of algal biorefinery with the FEWE nexus is a sustainable and economically viable approach for microalgae cultivation scale-up.
