Algal biomass can be completely gasified to a methane-rich gas in supercritical water using a suitable catalyst conditions. In a continuous process, nutrient salts are separated before the catalytic reactor and can be recovered as concentrated brine. A closed bioenergy system based on microalgae and hydrothermal gasification is a promising concept for CO 2 mitigation and biomethane production. 10
