A framework is proposed for the integration of biofixation of CO2 through the cultivation of microalgae, conversion of microalgae to biodiesel, and a steam power plant with cogeneration that is thermally coupled with an industrial facility. A systematic multi-objective optimization approach is developed to integrate the considered units while simultaneously addressing technical, economic, and environmental objectives. The solution of the optimization problem is carried out via a hierarchical decomposition approach, a genetic algorithm, and the ε-constraint method for solving the multi-objective optimization problem. A case study is considered to integrate an existing thermoelectric power station in Mexico with an algae-and-cogeneration system. The results show that important environmental, economic, and energy benefits can be achieved as a result of the proposed integration approach.
