ABSTRACT
The oil and gas industry's incessant flaring of carbon dioxide (CO2) during production remains a critical challenge in the global effort to mitigate climate change. This practice not only contributes significantly to greenhouse gas emissions but also exacerbates environmental degradation and impacts biodiversity. To combat these pressing issues and promote environmental sustainability, innovative approaches are urgently needed. In response to this imperative, this project proposes the integration of microalgae-based carbon capture methods within the oil and gas industry. Microalgae, renowned for their remarkable ability to sequester CO2 through photosynthesis, offer a promising avenue for reducing emissions while simultaneously generating valuable biomass suitable for biofuel production. Drawing upon insights from the University of Delhi's pioneering research initiative titled "Using Algae for Carbon Dioxide Capture and Bio-fuel Production to Combat Climate Change," this project seeks to adapt and implement microalgae-based solutions in real-world industrial settings. By capitalizing on the knowledge gleaned from previous studies and leveraging advancements in biotechnology and cultivation techniques, this project aims to develop a comprehensive and scalable strategy for mitigating CO2 flaring and reducing greenhouse gas emissions within the oil and gas sector. Through collaboration with industry stakeholders, academia, and research institutions, this initiative endeavours to foster cross-disciplinary partnerships and catalyse the adoption of sustainable practices. Ultimately, the envisioned outcome of this project is not only to curtail CO2 emissions and mitigate environmental impact but also to pave the way for a more resilient and sustainable energy future. By addressing the dual imperatives of environmental stewardship and economic viability, this project endeavours to contribute meaningfully to global efforts aimed at combating climate change and advancing towards a more sustainable and equitable society(Sahoo et al., 2012; Yasemi et al., 2023).
