The increasing environmental deterioration leads to urgent needs to search for cost-effective and green treatment technologies. It is well recognized that many algal species are capable of carbon dioxide (CO2) sequestration and wastewater decontamination. Additionally, algal biomass can be utilized for versatile purposes. As a consequence, there is a growing trend to use hybrid algae cultivation and wastewater treatment systems. Although studies on the use of algae for environmental remediation are abundantly available, there is still a lack of demonstrative and pilot scale systems. Hence, this book chapter presents case studies of algae-based biomaterial for 1) removal of various pollutants from different categories of wastewater and 2) CO2 fixation to mitigate the global warming. The focus is placed on the treatment performance, removal mechanisms, and influential factors. Especially, the challenges and future perspectives are highlighted in an attempt to further promote the actual application of algae-based biomaterial in environmental remediation.
