Carbon dioxide fixation and Bio-fuel

Carbon dioxide fixation
Microalgae fix carbon dioxide by their photosynthesis.　　Microalgal biomass contains approximately 50% carbon by dry weight.　
All of this carbon is typically derived from carbon dioxide.　　
Producing 100 tons of algal biomass fixes roughly 183 tons of carbon dioxide.

Bio-fuel
Microalgae are the most efficient biological producer of oil and may be one of the Earth's most important renewable fuel crops, due to the higher photosynthetic efficiency, higher productivities, a faster growth rate than higher plants.
