Initially, carbon dioxide had been modeled as an avoided burden (waste CO2) in all scenarios. We then repeated the calculation of all scenarios with the full burden of carbon dioxide production, which added a completely new aspect to the publication. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><em>Q: What was challenging and what was a rewarding moment during your work presented in the publication?<\/em><br>A: I found it challenging to establish the computational model for the input flows of the hypothetical photobioreactor in the first part of our study. It was a rewarding moment to obtain the complete inventory data and use it for the further calculations of the environmental impacts.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<span id=\"Significance_of_publication\"><h4>Significance of publication<\/h4><\/span>\n\n\n\n<p>Microalgae could provide an alternative source of healthy omega-3 fatty acids for humans while also being more environmentally friendly to produce than popular fish species. This is the result of a new study by scientists from Martin Luther University Halle-Wittenberg (MLU). The study was recently published in the &#8220;Journal of Applied Phycology&#8221; and offers an initial indication of the environmental effects of producing microalgae in Germany.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>from <a href=\"https:\/\/pressemitteilungen.pr.uni-halle.de\/index.php?modus=pmanzeige&amp;pm_id=3298\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\" aria-label=\"press release no. 087\/2020 (opens in a new tab)\">press release no. 087\/2020<\/a> of July 7, 2020<\/p>\n\n\n\n<span id=\"Related_publication\"><h4>Related publication<\/h4><\/span>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Schade S<\/strong>., Stangl G.I., Meier T.\u00a0<br><em>Distinct microalgae species for food-part 2: comparative life cycle assessment of microalgae and fish for eicosapentaenoic acid (EPA), docosahexaenoic acid (DHA), and protein<\/em>.\u00a0<br>Journal of Applied Phycology\u00a0(2020). doi:\u00a0<a rel=\"noreferrer noopener\" aria-label=\"10.1007\/s10811-020-02181-6 (opens in a new tab)\" href=\"http:\/\/dx.doi.org\/10.1007\/s10811-020-02181-6\" target=\"_blank\">10.1007\/s10811-020-02181-6<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n<span id=\"About_this_profile\"><h4>About this profile<\/h4><\/span>\n\n\n\n<p>Doctoral students contribute significantly to publications highlighted by the MLU press office in many cases.
