Abstract

Las microalgas son una importante fuente de materias primas para la producción de biocombustibles y otras sustancias finas que pueden contribuir con la actual necesidad de energías renovables sostenibles. Las condiciones ambientales y climáticas afectan directamente la producción de la biomasa de los cultivos microalgales y, en general, las condiciones del departamento del Valle del Cauca, Colombia, son óptimas dados los niveles de radiación solar y su intensidad todo el año debidos a su ubicación geográfica. Considerando el potencial futuro de las microalgas en biofábricas, en este artículo se presenta una revisión de los factores que intervienen en el desarrollo de los cultivos microalgales y la tecnología necesaria para su explotación, se analiza también la viabilidad de fotobiorreactores cerrados debido a su alta transferencia de masa, mayor aprovechamiento de radiación solar y reducción de la contaminación por microorganismos foráneos, los cual es fundamental en la producción de biomasa. Esta información es útil para la aplicación de ingeniería y el desarrollo futuro de tecnología eficiente y comercialmente viable para la producción de biocombustibles a partir de microalgas.
