The growing world population, rapid industrialization, and intensive agriculture have increased environmental impacts such as wastewater discharge and global warming. These threats coupled the deficiency of fossil fuel and the rise in crude oil prices globally cause serious social, environmental and economic problems. Microalgae strains can withstand the harsh environments of modern industrial and municipal wastes. The shift toward a circular bio-economy that relies on resource diversification has also prompted the reorganization of traditional wastewater treatment (WWT) processes into a low-carbon, integrated biorefinery model that can accommodate multiple waste streams. Therefore, microalgae-based WWT is now a serious competitor to conventional WWT since the major bottlenecks of nutrient assimilation and high microalgae population have been partially mitigated. This review paper aims to collate advances and new knowledge emerged in recent years for microalgae-based WWT and related biofuel technologies.
