Abstract

Micro- and macroalgal biomass conversion into valuable products is central to biorefinery research, addressing global challenges in energy and sustainability. This review details recent advancements in algal biomass conversion, focusing on the enhancement of conversion technologies to increase commercial value. Methods such as pyrolysis and catalytic bioconversion are examined for their efficiency in producing biofuels and biochemicals. The utilization of specialized algal strains for effective bioremediation and the role of algal-derived biofertilizers and biostimulants in providing sustainable alternatives to chemical fertilizers are discussed. These alternatives significantly improve soil health and plant…
