## TL;DR

The paper explores using residual lignocellulosic and algal biomass to produce biofuels, aiming to reduce environmental pollution.

## Contribution

The study reviews methods to convert lignocellulosic waste into organic supplements for algae cultivation, enhancing biomass and metabolite production.

## Key findings

- Lignocellulosic waste can be transformed into valuable organic supplements for algae and microalgae.
- Algal biomass offers a renewable and non-polluting alternative for biofuel production.
- Current challenges include making algal biomass production economically feasible.

## Abstract

Efforts are intensifying to identify new biofuel sources in response to the pressing need to mitigate environmental pollutants, such as greenhouse gases, which are key contributors to global warming and various worldwide calamities. Algae and microalgae present themselves as excellent alternatives for solid-gaseous fuel production, given their renewable nature and non-polluting characteristics. However, making biomass production from these organisms economically feasible remains a challenge. This article collates various studies on the use of lignocellulosic waste, transforming it from environmental waste to valuable organic supplements for algae and microalgae cultivation. The focus is on enhancing biomass production and the metabolites derived from these biomasses.
