The growing urgency to address the limitation of renewable energy sources and the surge in industrial carbon emissions necessitates innovative and sustainable solutions. This project introduces a Dual-Function Microalgae Bioreactor System (DFMBS) designed to simultaneously enhance bioenergy production and facilitates industrial carbon sequestration, an unprecedented integration at this scale. It features the proprietary multilayer architecture
that maximizes light distribution and nutrient recycling, significantly improving microalgal photosynthesis and biomass yield. It utilizes microalgae strains with naturally high CO2 absorption capacity and rich lipid content to optimize biofuel production. Directly connected to industrial exhaust streams, the bioreactor enables real-time CO2 capture and its subsequent conversion into biofuels. Once optimal biomass is achieved, the microalgae are harvested through centrifugation, dried, and subjected to solved-based lipid extraction. Lipids undergo
transesterification to produce high-purity biodiesel. Constructed from biodegradable, eco-friendly materials, the system minimizes environmental impact. Experimental results indicate a 35% increase in biomass growth, 40% improvement in biofuel yield, and 50% reduction in CO2 emissions compared to conventional approaches. These findings validate DFMBS as an effective, scalable, cost-efficient platform that units renewable energy generation with carbon mitigation. In conclusion, DFMBS presents a transformative and environmentally responsible solution for industrial environmental management and the advancement of global climate sustainability goals.
