ABSTRACT
The increasing concentration of carbon dioxide (CO2) in the earth’s atmosphere has had a profound impact on the planet’s balance. Algal biomass has notable superiority higher than terrestrial plants in respect of carbon dioxide sequestration, wastewater treatment, biomass production accompanying with production of many bioactive compounds/products. A bibliometric study was used to examine global microalgae research trends in this paper. To ascertain the development and most recent trends in this field, the number and distribution of publications were looked at, as well as the journals and keywords which were most relevant. The findings confirmed that the number of publications in this field was expanding rapidly. Bioresource technology and science of total environment are the journals that are most pertinent to this topic. The primary keywords that were used in over 315 publications were typically associated with algae’s ability to store carbon dioxide, such as “Microalgae, carbon sequestration, and biofuel.” The keyword “microalgae” stands out among the others since it may be found in practically all publications. According to a bibliographic study, research on the sequestration of carbon dioxide by algae has been quite active in recent years, growing rapidly along with industrial output. Expectations are therefore high in this sector for the foreseeable future.
Key words: Biblometric, carbon dioxide, journals, publications, sequestration
