This report includes a discussion of the possibilities of microalgae-related projects in the desert. Microalgae use the sun as energy to produce organic matter using CO2 and water as their main materials. Microalgae has high potential for production speed and settlement efficiency per area and it is attracting attention in the aim of creating a sustainable society. While working for a construction company, the author has been exploring the possibility of harnessing the potential of microalgae for sustainable material production. Based on that experience, we attempted to extract the conditions for establishing a microalgae business in the desert.
This article introduces overseas microalgae production projects that are thought to be applicable even in the desert. Based on these examples, I consider the conditions that enable mass microalgae cultivation in desert.
