1 1. Phycoremediation technology is a cost-effective technology. There is no requirement of sophisticated instruments and expensive chemicals. Microalgae can efficiently remediate environmental contamination without any extra cost.

2 2. The biomass generated during the process of remediation can act as a potential feedstock for the production of various products such as bio-chemicals (e.g., pharmaceuticals), bio-fertilizer, and bio-fuel.

3 3. Microalgae are photosynthetic creatures; thus, they consume the CO2 generated during the phycoremediation process and help in maintaining CO2 balance.

4 4. Conventional remedial methods generate a large amount of sludge which may be hazardous for the environment. But the sludge generated after phycoremediation contains algal biomass which can be used for energy generation and production of other value-added products.
