Abstract

Bioenergy production from algae has gained significant attention due to its potential as a sustainable and renewable energy source. This research investigates the optimization of bioenergy production by focusing on bioreactor design to enhance the efficiency of algal biomass growth and lipid extraction. The study involves analyzing key bioreactor parameters such as light intensity, nutrient concentration, pH levels, and carbon dioxide (CO₂) supply. Experimental results demonstrated a 25% increase in lipid production through optimized conditions, showing promising improvements in biofuel yield. The findings of this research provide valuable insights into the potential scalability of algae-based bioenergy systems.
