In Brazil, algal systems have shown great potential in remediating wastewater and simultaneously producing a wealth of renewable resources, such as food, fuel, pharmaceuticals, among others. My PhD research focuses on the biological recovery of wastewater nutrients like nitrogen and phosphorus for generation of algal biomass, measured for high value quality in terms of protein, carbohydrates, lipids, and other derivative biometabolite compounds. Through the Environment Enhancing Energy (E2E) Paradigm, our international team working in Brazil and the US couples this emerging biotechnology and a pyrolytic process, Hydrothermal Liquefaction (HTL), to recover value from wet organic waste, often produced in agriculture. While producing renewable biocrude, this thermochemical technology uses high pressure and heat to convert different biowastes into oil and a nutrient dense, toxic aqueous phase that can be utilized as a new alternative input for algal growth in production of valuable compounds. The generated algal biomass, after extraction of these compounds, can also be recycled back into the HTL process for maximal utilization of the waste stream.  Specifically, algal wastewater systems have great potential to reduce waste and create new bioeconomies in Brazil, especially, because of the evolving sustainability practices and renewable strategies that are prevalent in this agricultural stronghold.
