Abstract
This research paper investigates the bioprocessing efficiency of algal strains for biofuel production in Coastal Gujarat, aiming to address the literature gap regarding region-specific dynamics in algal biofuel production. Adopting a quantitative approach, the study utilizes a cross-sectional design to collect data from the Coastal Gujarat Algal Bioreactor Facility. Operational parameters, algal growth metrics, nutrient concentrations, and bioreactor performance are analyzed using statistical tools to identify key factors influencing bioprocessing efficiency. The findings highlight favorable conditions for algal cultivation in Coastal Gujarat, with variations in operational parameters impacting lipid production and biomass productivity. Moreover, the comparison of algal strains reveals candidates with superior lipid accumulation and growth characteristics, emphasizing the importance of strain selection in optimizing biofuel yields. The research underscores the significance of adopting sustainable practices in biofuel production to mitigate environmental impact and promote long-term ecological sustainability. Overall, the study contributes to advancing sustainable energy production and environmental management practices in Coastal Gujarat and beyond.
