Led by students from Monash University, this project proposes a high-performance microalgae biorefinery that captures industrial CO₂ emissions and transforms them into valuable products such as astaxanthin and biofertilizer. Utilizing photobioreactors, anaerobic digestion, and combined heat and power systems, the closed-loop system ensures sustainable and energy-efficient resource use. It supports circular industrial operations and contributes to climate mitigation in heavy-emitting zones.
