This book provides an overview of challenges and opportunities for algal management to mitigate climate change. This book offers new perspectives on how to control water pollution due to algae, while converting it to biosorbent and biodiesel that could be sold in market. The work also explores how to improve the performance of algae for such purposes. By identifying existing knowledge gap, this work uncovers new research directions for further development of algal management to address global environmental pollution.



• Extensive literature survey (2001-2023) in algal management based on empirical approach in the body of knowledge

• A comprehensive overview with critical analysis of algal management, for water treatment, biodiesel production, and food production, while dealing with climate change

• Providing insights about challenges, research direction, outlook, and perspectives of algal management in Industry 4.0 era



This book has an advantage that each chapter will be written by experts around the world working in their respective fields. As a result, this volume presents a balanced picture across the whole spectrum of algae. Furthermore, the authors are from both the developing and developed countries thus giving a worldwide perspective of looming climatic problems.
