This review explores the crucial role of microalgae in CO2 capture, highlighting recent scientific advancements from 2022 to 2024. It provides a comprehensive analysis of the benefits and limitations of microalgae-based CO₂ biofixation, while addressing the key challenges associated with their large-scale implementation. In particular, the study examines the technological, environmental, and economic factors that influence their integration into sustainable and cost-effective systems. By exploring innovative cultivation techniques, genetic enhancements, and biotechnological approaches, the review underscores the significant potential of microalgae in mitigating climate change. However, despite their promise, further research is essential to overcome the existing barriers and optimize their efficiency, making them a viable solution for industrial CO2 sequestration and sustainable bioresource production.
