Abstract

Microalgae are unicellular organisms found in aquatic environments, playing a key role in carbon fixation and oxygen production through photosynthesis. They produce valuable bioactive compounds such as proteins, lipids, and antioxidants. Their wide-ranging applications make them a promising sustainable resource. In biofuel production, microalgae serve as an eco-friendly alternative to fossil fuels while aiding in carbon sequestration. In nutraceutical industries, they offer essential nutrients like omega-3 fatty acids and amino acids. The pharmaceutical sectors utilize microalgae-based nanocarriers for efficient drug delivery. Environmentally, microalgae are effective in wastewater treatment and bioremediation due to their pollutant-absorbing abilities. In Southeast Asia, the biomass energy market is expected to grow at 7.6 % compound annual growth rate from 2025 to 2034 and recent studies highlight their growing role in addressing sustainability challenges. As research advances, microalgae continue to emerge as a powerful tool in promoting green technology and solving global environmental and energy issues.

微藻：最近在东南亚从微观到宏观的应用

微藻是在水生环境中发现的单细胞生物，通过光合作用在固碳和产氧中起着关键作用。它们产生有价值的生物活性化合物，如蛋白质、脂质和抗氧化剂。它们的广泛应用使它们成为一种有前途的可持续资源。在生物燃料生产中，微藻作为化石燃料的环保替代品，同时有助于碳封存。在营养保健品行业，它们提供必需的营养物质，如omega-3脂肪酸和氨基酸。制药部门利用微藻为基础的纳米载体有效的药物输送。在环境方面，微藻因其对污染物的吸附能力而在污水处理和生物修复中发挥着重要作用。在东南亚，从2025年到2034年，生物质能市场预计将以7.6%的复合年增长率增长，最近的研究强调了它们在应对可持续性挑战方面日益重要的作用。随着研究的深入，微藻不断成为推动绿色科技发展、解决全球环境和能源问题的有力工具。
