Abstract

The algae spices are considered as one of the most reliable natural resources with a lot of valuable substances which meet the requirement of food and energy. In the present conceptual study, the global potential of the cultivation of microalgae in dairy wastewater (DWW). Hence, the present day necessities and requirements have emphasized the need for a renewable and alternate energy source is very needy basis. Besides, the present technologies of energy resources possess a potential threat to the environment by emitting greenhouse gases (GHGs) etc. The present study primarily discussed about the use of dairy waste water as a culture medium for microalgae and established methods i.e., Open Race Ways Pond (ORWP) and Photo Bio Reactor (PBR) methods for pilot scale cultivation of microalgae and further for industrial production of Biofuel. The DWW derived from the dairy have a Potential to provide Cost – Effective and Sustainable means of algal growth for the biofuels. The study concluded that the dairy waste waters would be used for algal cultivation and final products of algal biomass may be used as a possible feedstock for Biodiesels or fuel Production.
