Considering that the greatest proportion of microalgae commercial production is realized outdoors, it is critically important to highlight the role of the local climate in the performance of the processes. Currently, there is a tendency to identify locations with suitable climates for the large‐scale implementation of microalgae‐based processes. Therefore, this study proposed to map the performance of photobioreactors for microalgae culture. Fourteen types of climates distributed in 33 geographical locations representative of the equatorial and tropical zones of the world were evaluated. The simulated climatic elements were solar irradiation, temperature and photoperiod.

绘制用于微藻培养的光生物反应器的性能图。第二部分：赤道和热带气候带

考虑到微藻商业化生产的最大部分是在户外实现的，因此强调当地气候在工艺过程中的作用至关重要。当前，有一种趋势是确定适合气候的位置，以大规模实施基于微藻的工艺。因此，这项研究提出了将光生物反应器用于微藻培养的性能图。对分布在代表世界赤道和热带地区的33个地理位置的14种气候进行了评估。模拟的气候要素是太阳辐射，温度和光周期。
