Abstract Many recent studies are concerned with low cost, easy to handle and alternative renewable energy as a
feasible solution for the upcoming crisis of energy shortage. Microalgae are unicellular entities the can only depend
on CO2, water and solar power to cover their nutritional needs. The current study is concerned with using algal cells
in a polymeric hydrogel, as a cheap source of energy for electricity generation. Chlorella vulgaris has been proved to
be a promising algal species for electricity generation, as compared with Micractinium reisseri. PVA hydrogel has been
used for the immobilization of both algal species in order… More >
