Organic Vs Sustainable Aquaculture Practices: What’s the Difference and Why Does It Matter?

A comparison of two approaches to farming fish and other aquatic organisms that aim to minimize environmental impacts and maximize social benefits
Prof. Aécio D’Silva, Ph.D
Organic vs Sustainable aquaculture – Aquaculture, the cultivation of fish and other aquatic organisms, is one of the fastest-growing food production sectors in the world, providing food, income, and livelihoods for millions of people. However, aquaculture also poses various environmental and social challenges, such as water pollution, habitat degradation, disease outbreaks, and human rights violations. To address these challenges, different approaches to aquaculture have emerged, such as organic and sustainable aquaculture. But what are the differences between these two approaches, and why do they matter for consumers, producers, and the planet?

The Potential of Catalytic Hydrothermal Liquefaction Technology to Convert Algae Biomass to Oil and Biochemicals

Catalytic hydrothermal liquefaction (CHTL) is a process that can convert wet algae biomass into biocrude oil and biochemicals, a renewable and sustainable alternative to fossil fuels
Prof. Aécio D’Silva, Ph.D
Catalytic Hydrothermal Liquefaction Technology (CHTL) can overcome the challenges of conventional biofuel production, such as high energy consumption, low conversion efficiency, and poor biocrude quality. CHTL can also utilize various types of algae, such as microalgae, macroalgae, and cyanobacteria, which have high biomass productivity, low land and water requirements, and high environmental benefits.

Algae are aquatic organisms that can perform photosynthesis and produce biomass, which can be converted into biofuels, such as biogas, bioethanol, biodiesel, or biocrude oil. Biofuels are renewable and sustainable sources of energy that can reduce greenhouse gas emissions, enhance energy security, and diversify the energy portfolio. However, biofuel production from algae also faces some challenges, such as high moisture content, low lipid content, complex cell wall structure, and diverse biomass composition, which can affect the conversion process and the biocrude quality.
