Microalgae: an innovative tool for bioeconomy

Source: Peoples’Friendship University of Russia –

An important disclaimer is at the bottom of this article.

Products derived from microalgae represent a cutting-edge development in the field of bioeconomy. The potential of this biological resource was discussed at the international research seminar “Foundations for a Green Sustainable Energy”, part of the BRICS Network University’s thematic group on “Energy”. The event was organized by the Institute of Ecology at RUDN University.

The series of scientific seminars is designed to inform graduate students and young researchers from the universities participating in the BRICS Network University about the scientific challenges being solved by partner institutions and to encourage them to participate in international academic mobility

Sergey Shirinsky,

Associate Professor of the Department of Electromechanics, Electrical and Electronic Apparatus at NRU “MPEI”.

The main speaker of the seminar was Irina Adarchenko, a graduate student from the Institute of Ecology at RUDN University with the presentation “Innovative Tools for Bioeconomy: the case of microalgae production.”

Production

Microalgae production is a key source of valuable bioproducts, including proteins, lipids, carbohydrates, vitamins, and various other beneficial compounds. However, their extraction involves a complex, multi-stage process.

First, microalgae are cultivated under controlled conditions, whether in open ponds, closed photobioreactors, or fermenters. The biomass produced this way is then harvested and dehydrated. To release the contents of the cells, it is necessary to remove the cell walls. This can be done through mechanical, chemical, or enzymatic methods. Next step is the extraction process, where organic solvents, alkalis, acids, and enzymes are utilized to isolate specific compounds. The resulting extracts are then separated and purified to obtain the product.

For example, high-purity proteins are extracted using alkaline extraction or enzymatic hydrolysis, while Omega-3 fatty acids are obtained through lipid extraction with organic solvents followed by separation. Vitamins and natural pigments are extracted using specialized solvents. Antioxidants and other specific compounds are extracted using solvent extraction and chromatography

Areas of use

Proteins, lipids, and carbohydrates derived from microalgae have potential applications in the food industry, for example, as additives, ingredients for functional foods, and aquaculture feed. Vitamins, pigments, antioxidants, and other bioactive compounds can be used in pharmaceuticals, cosmetics, and dietary supplements. In the energy sector, lipids are used for the production of biodiesel, while carbohydrates are used for bioethanol. In agriculture, microalgal biomass is becoming a biofertilizer. Furthermore, microalgae are used for wastewater treatment and in the production of biodegradable plastics.

Bioeconomy uses microalgae for several reasons:

  1. Microalgae exhibit rapid growth rates, allowing for the production of biomass in significant quantities in a short time frame.
  2. It does not require arable land, as they can be cultivated in controlled environments.
  3. Microalgae are capable of absorbing CO2 from the atmosphere, helping to mitigate the greenhouse effect.
  4. It also plays a crucial role in bioremediation, cleaning up wastewater and contaminated sites.
  5. The diverse range of microalgal species, each with its unique composition, opens up avenues for a wide variety of products.

Microalgae hold significant potential for addressing both food and environmental security issues. Their application in bioremediation and biofuel production is becoming increasingly prevalent. A key aspect of developing effective solutions is the selection of microorganisms. Therefore, research aimed at discovering new strains of microalgae with unique traits, such as mixotrophy, is particularly relevant today.

Anna Popkova

Deputy Director for International Activities at the Institute of Ecology of RUDN

Microalgae provide proteins and micronutrients to the population, addressing the global challenge of food security. They also play a crucial role in ensuring energy security by offering renewable sources of biofuels, which helps reduce dependence on fossil fuels. The exciting prospects for using microalgae are tied to advancements in cultivation, processing, and scaling up production technologies. In the future, we can expect the emergence of new bioproducts derived from microalgae, as well as an expansion of their applications across various industries.

Technologies for cultivating microalgae

There are several technologies for cultivating microalgae.

  • Open ponds represent the most cost-effective option, although they do not allow for complete control over growth conditions.
  • Closed photobioreactors provide more regulated environments, ensuring higher productivity and biomass purity, but they come with a significantly higher price tag.
  • Hybrid systems blend elements of open ponds and closed photobioreactors to optimize the production process.
  • Additionally, fermenters are used for cultivating certain types of microalgae in the dark, utilizing organic substrates for growth.

The implementation of these technologies in production comes with a range of challenges and obstacles. The high costs of production require substantial investments in equipment and infrastructure. Additionally, the low productivity of certain strains and processing methods needs further optimization and scaling efforts. Cultivation and processing processes are highly energy-intensive, highlighting the need to develop more efficient and environmentally friendly solutions. Another critical concern is the risk of water body eutrophication when microalgae are used in bioremediation, which necessitates strict monitoring and regulation. On top of this, scaling up laboratory innovations to industrial production remains challenging, compounded by logistical issues and difficulties in storing biomass and derived products.

Rosneft and Krasnoyarsk Territory to Develop Cooperation in the sphere of Domestic Tourism

Source: Rosneft – An important disclaimer is at the bottom of this article.

At the XXVII St. Petersburg International Economic Forum, Rosneft and the Tourism Agency of the Krasnoyarsk Territory signed a Memorandum of Cooperation to promote domestic tourism.

The document provides for cooperation to boost the demand for domestic automobile tourism, promote the tourist potential of the region, including improvement of motorway service and Rosneft retail network infrastructure.

The parties plan to undertake a number of actions aimed at improving the comfort of automobile travelers, including motorway service at the Rosneft filling stations.

Development of the motorway service facilities and improvement of the customer services provided at Rosneft filling stations is one of the Company’s priorities. The Company retail network is not only the largest in Russia in terms of geographical coverage and number of filling stations (around 3,000 stations), but also one of the leaders in terms of fuel brand recognition and quality.

Rosneft undertakes a number of measures aimed at creating comfortable conditions for automobile travelers. Earlier, the Company, together with a number of regional authorities, has presented joint tourist routes running through the Rosneft filling stations in the Republic of Karelia, as well as the Tula, Arkhangelsk, and Ulyanovsk Regions, and the key routes between Moscow and Krasnaya Polyana, and between the two capitals.

In addition, the Company has previously signed memoranda of cooperation to promote domestic tourism with the Moscow City Tourism Committee, the government of the Samara Region, the Ministry of culture of the Arkhangelsk Oblast, the Altai Territory Department for Tourism and Resort Development, Tourism Agencies of the Ulyanovsk Region and the Republic of Udmurtia, and the Republic of Bashkortostan.

In 2023, Rosneft launched a special information and service platform “Russian Horizons: Come With Us!”. The special project allows car tourists to choose and plan routes to places of interest using the infrastructure of Rosneft’s network of motorway services and filling stations. The project “Horizons of Russia” has a number of key distinctions thanks to the unique navigation functionality, all interesting locations become stops on the route that a driver may can independently combine and modify at any time during the journey.

The Krasnoyarsk Territory is a strategic region of Rosneft operations. The region is home to the major Group Subsidiaries, including RN-Vankor, Vostsibneftegaz, Slavneft-Krasnoyarskneftegaz, Achinsk Refinery, service, marketing and logistics companies, and filling stations.

Vostok Oil, the flagship oil production project, is being delivered in the north of the region. Low unit production costs and low carbon footprint (only a quarter of the global average for new projects) make Vostok Oil one of the most promising and environmentally friendly oil production projects in the world. Industry experts estimate that the project will increase the annual Russian GDP by 2%.

Rosneft is also implementing a large-scale program in the Krasnoyarsk Territory to support educational institutions that provide comprehensive training courses to skilled workers and engineers for the Vostok Oil Project. Over 400,000 specialists will be engaged at the construction stage alone, and over 130,000 workers will be employed on a long-term basis at the Vostok Oil operational stage. A total of 10,000 people are already working at the project facilities.

Reference:

Rosneft’s retail network is the largest in the Russian Federation in terms of geographical coverage and number of stations, and the Rosneft brand of petrol stations is one of the leading brands in Russia in terms of recognition and fuel quality. The Company operates approximately 3,000 filling stations in Russia, Belarus, Kyrgyzstan and Abkhazia.

In addition to high-quality fuel, the Company offers its customers a wide range of goods and services, from stores and cafes to roadside service. For example, customers can stay for the night and get some rest from the long road in roadside hotels and multifunctional complexes of the Company in a number of regions.

The Company is also developing a new customer service at filling stations – food trucks (mobile retail outlets). The Café on Wheels service is available at filling stations in Moscow, St. Petersburg and other regions where the retail network operates.
