A review on third-generation biofuels from marine diatoms

Modern life increases the consumption of fossil fuels leading to a decrease in natural resources. Therefore, an alternative energy sources like biowastes - food waste, agricultural municipal etc. tree edible and non-edible oily seeds; various aquatic plants were also identified as sources. In recent years, many efforts have been made determine possibility using algae source bio-oil biogas for production. Algae are considered large diverse group, often autotrophic organisms, ranging from unicellular multicellular. They can produce far greater amounts biomass lipids per hectare than any other type terrestrial biomass-producing organism. Due their global presence, diatoms known producer biofuels years. Another is biodiesel, which used sustainable form diesel fuel derived Diatomic among third generation that ultimately contribute about 60-90% less greenhouse gas emissions traditional
